Stop Two: Preparing for Registration

New Student Orientation - Meeting with Undergraduate Advising Support is a requirement for any student starting a clinical program (whether they are stepping right into clinical-based courses, or they're completing general education courses first and then moving into clinical based courses). 

Do you have a Summer 2026 (May 18th or July 6th) Program Start? Submit an Ask your Advisor Ticket to Schedule your Appointment

Do you have a Fall 2026 (August 24th) Program Start? Sign up for your required New Student Orientation

Here's how to prepare for your registration: 

Curricular Requirements - Now that you've reviewed your program's curricular requirements (on Stop One) you can start to frame your academic path ahead. You'll see that your program's course catalog page has a clear outline of required courses, as well as a typical course sequence for students entering the program. 

If you completed coursework elsewhere and are curious if this will count towards your program requirements, you can confirm this in the Transfer Credit Evaluation you receive from the Registrar's Office after the review of your transcripts is compete. 

Clinical Cohort - When you were accepted into your program, you should have received confirmation from your Admissions Counselor on when you can expect to start your program-specific courses. 

Ahead of your scheduled orientation session, you can view this video which provides an overview of registration for students coming into their first semester.  We have a Glossary of Terms you can view if at any point you need clarification on some of the facets of course registration. 

Students coming into the RN to BSN and BSHS programs are not required to meet with Undergraduate Advising Support in order to register, and can do so on their own. Once you are ready to register you can follow the step-by-step video guide on Registering as a First Semester Student.
