Meet with their assigned academic advisor any time they have questions or concerns about their degree plan or the application process.

Applicants to the associate of applied science (A.A.S.) programs in the Nursing & Allied Health Division are advised that program admission is highly competitive, and most successful candidates have completed the majority of the program's general education requirements prior to their program application. In order to be competitive, candidates must demonstrate a high level of academic success in the general education courses they have attempted.

Students who have declared a major indicating their intention to apply to a competitive entry, limited enrollment program will be evaluated once they have attempted 24 (or more) college level credit hours. If a student's cumulative grade point average (GPA) is below 2.50, the Nursing & Allied Health Division will place an advising hold on the student's academic record. Students with holds will be required to schedule an appointment to meet with an Academic Advisor to discuss their academic plan before registering for the next semester. During the advising meeting the advisor will discuss with the student ways to get back on track with their current major, parallel major options in the healthcare field and potential major options outside of healthcare.
