FOR MAY 2012 GRADUATES:
The Graduate School has approved a new process for the Comprehensive Examination in the School of Nursing effective Spring 2012. Students who are in their final clinical management course AND planning to graduate in May 2012 will have the option of electing to take the comprehensive examination according to the previous (or "old") format or choosing the new format.
Please remember if you have already completed your final clinical course, you will take the "old" format for the Comprehensive Examination. See your APA Coordinator ASAP. |

Congratulations to all graduates!
Verification of Educational Program & Transcripts (Directions for submitting forms & obtaining transcripts): Please read the instructions regarding submission of verification of education forms and for obtaining transcripts to sit for national exams. If you are having difficulty understanding what to submit for an exam application, you must call the organization -- we cannot advise regarding policies and procedures for applying for a national exam.
The verification of educational program forms are to be submitted to Deannie Holt in the Office of Admissions and Student Services (Suite 1200). Forms will not be completed prior to graduation.
NP NCBON Letters: NCBON letters verifying your curriculum has met the standards for NP education will be sent by the OAA to the NCBON approximately 20 working days after the official date of graduation. A copy of this letter along with a certificate specifying your specialty area of preparation (NPs only) will be sent to you.
Please indicate in your approval to practice packet that the letter has already been sent to the BON by the Program Director. The NCBON will keep this letter on file for 1 year.
The Board may not indicate receipt of your letter immediately in their online database -- so please call them if it says your letter is not there yet (the NCBON contact is Jean Stanley). If they really cannot locate it or you are one year post graduation, you will need to contact the OAA to request that another copy of the original letter be sent to the NCBON.

Moving to another state? You will need to contact the Board of Nursing in the state you are moving to and ask about forms or paperwork that need to be filled out by your educational program. When you send the paperwork to us, in many cases, you must sign the form before we can send it to the Board of Nursing. Please make sure you have signed the form (if required) prior to sending it to us. Direct all paperwork to the SON Registrar (Deannie Holt) in OASS.
