BSN: Application for the BSN Degree

In the fall semester prior to graduation:

The necessary form "Application for a Bachelor's Degree" is obtained from the Records Office by the student. It is then filled out by the student. The student should then bring the following to the academic advisor:

  • The completed "Application for a Bachelor's Degree".
  • An unofficial transcript and academic advisement report (from e-campus).

The academic advisor checks a) that Nursing Program graduation requirements have been satisfied, b) if a minor or second-major is claimed, it is already filled out and signed. The academic advisor signs the form. The student delivers the form to Department Office.

When students deliver the application and transcript to the Department Office, it is immediately checked for the advisor's signature. If not present, the student is sent with the form to the advisor to obtain the signature.

The nursing advisor or Program Coordinator checks that the graduation requirements have been satisfied and the department head signs the application. One copy is on file in the nursing department. Each student is responsible for turning in the original signed application to the registrar's office.
