Office of Student Services
The College of Nursing Office of Student Services
provides services to all students enrolled in the College
of Nursing to supplement and further
enhance life at the University. Some examples of the
types of assistance include:
Academic Advising
Advising is viewed by our College as an
integral part of your education. Your advisor is concerned about
your physical, emotional, and academic well-being. A sympathetic
listener, your advisor can offer various solutions to problems yet recognizes your right and responsibility to make decisions.
Academic advising is done by a faculty
advisor. Your faculty advisor:
- Will help you with a schedule of courses with
consideration given to what you might realistically be expected
to complete on the basis of your ability

College procedures such as drop/add, repeating
courses, pass/fail options, petitions, etc.

relationship to your program
- Will keep a record of your grades and
appropriate forms

you to appropriate individuals and offices to handle academic
procedures

problems and assist you with appropriate referrals

the College of Nursing, and to help you relate this philosophy
to your own educational goals
