Academic Advising in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences
Welcome to advising in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences! We are excited to assist you as you consider our programs.
CNHS Programs
View the CNHS programs website for a list of our programs. There, you will find important information about the program and learning outcomes, admission criteria and application process, and prerequisites and course requirements. You may also access the course sequence (4-year curriculum plan) and a list of faculty. All of this information can help you determine which program fits with your academic and professional interests and goals.
Familiarize yourself with CNHS Applicant and Admitted Student Policies
Before applying to a CNHS program, review the CNHS Applicant Student Policies which explain admission requirements to prospective applicants.
Once admitted to a CNHS program, students should review the CNHS Admitted Student Policies to learn about student responsibilities and requirements for successful program completion.
Admission to CNHS
Interested students should first contact the Admissions Office regarding the university application process for undergraduate or graduate admission. Within 1-2 weeks of university admission, undergraduate students will be emailed a welcome letter notifying them of their advisor’s information and important next steps leading to registration (setting up university email, completing new student orientation, meeting with an advisor).
If you are already admitted to Metro State as an undergraduate student in a different program but you are interested in a CNHS undergraduate program, submit an Undergraduate Program Change or Declaration eForm to change your major and be assigned to a CNHS advisor.
Admission to graduate programs varies by program; please contact Graduate Admissions for more information.
Advising in CNHS
Students admitted to the CNHS are supported by the expertise of faculty and professional advisors. Your advisor is a key resource to help you navigate degree requirements, registration, policies, procedures, and online systems.
Meeting with your advisor prior to your first registration and establishing a good, ongoing relationship with your academic advisor will be essential to ensuring your needs as a student are being met and your academic success. You should work with your advisor regularly to proactively monitor progress toward program application and graduation requirements, and develop plans to achieve your educational and vocational goals.
Please refer to the Advising Syllabus for more information about our advising process.
How do I find my advisor's information?
You may locate your advisor’s name and contact information in two places: on the My.Metro student dashboard (my.metrostate.edu) on the left-side navigation under “My Metro” and on the degree audit after the “Legend."
Your degree audit provides information about the courses and requirements you have completed, in progress or still need. To access your degree audit, login to eServices, click Academic Records, Degree Audit, Open Degree Audit, Run Declared Programs, and View Audit.
Acceptance to the major
Students interested in CNHS majors must successfully complete requirements for program admission/declaration prior to being accepted. Requirements for program admission are listed on the program’s website and the student’s degree audit.
