Advising and Registration

 

New Students

Students who are attending the College of Nursing pre-licensure track are required to meet with an advisor through their first academic year. The advisor will review all course requirements and evaluate transcripts, if applicable.

International or Permanent Resident Students

Students with International status are required to take English as a Second Language (ESL) assessment at the University. Based upon the assessment students may be required to complete recommended ESL courses prior to enrolling in Nursing courses.

Outreach Students

After the first semester, students attending classes at outreach sites will receive an email with registration instructions from Veronica Hayes.

Current Students

We hope to make the registration process as easy as possible for you. Shortly before registration time, you will receive two emails; one from the registrar and one from the College of Nursing, both sent to your UMSL email address. The email from the Registrar will include your registration date and time, which are assigned by class standing: graduate students and seniors first, juniors next, etc. Be aware that it is not an appointment. It will be impossible for you to register officially until the date and time assigned by the Registrar; however, when the schedule of courses is available online, you may pre-register on or after the first date of registration in the Office of Student Services by an appointment with an advisor, Depending on your program, you will register in one of the following ways:

MSN Program On CAMPUS and MSN Outreach: Students will register with Veronica Hayes by either email, hayesv@umsl.edu or appointment, 516-6066.
RN to BSN Programs: Students will receive an email from Christina Vanatta. Please respond to the email to register.
