Student Resources

The Undergraduate Student Handbook contains valuable information for Nursing Majors about University and Department policies including attendance, advising, changing status from Day Division to Evening Division, etc. The Department Nursing Philosophy, Mission, and Conceptual terms may also be found in the Student handbook.

 

The learning resources especially helpful to nursing majors include:
