What to expect

The NURS 101 advising workshops are mandatory! Your workshop must be completed to receive academic advisement.

  • Two-hour workshops are for current and admitted transfer 91·çÃùÄñ³ª students and are offered weekly. Current and admitted transfer students will meet individually with an academic advisor during the second hour of the session (as long as all transfer transcripts have been submitted).
  • One-hour workshops are for prospective transfer students (those who have not been admitted and/or have not applied to the 91·çÃùÄñ³ª). These workshops are offered monthly and do not include individual advising.

For transcript evaluation, you must apply to the 91·çÃùÄñ³ª and submit all transcripts.
