Regarding registration:

•

The Graduate Entry DNP students take courses taught just for them. Therefore, there is no chance you would be closed out of a course.

•

A tentative schedule for Fall 2008 and the curriculum for the class entering Fall 2008 are posted below.

•

The current listings on the CWRU searchable schedule are NOT accurate.

•

We are undertaking the required multi-step processes necessary to update the searchable schedule and will notify you when that is done.

•

At that point, we will provide detailed guidelines on how to register and how to submit your requests for clinical day and labs.

Regarding health and safety requirements, uniforms, & other information:

•

Information on health and safety requirements is posted below.

•

We expect to have the uniform information posted by mid-May.

Dr. Lindell will be around campus through the summer, so feel free to contact her with any questions or concerns you may have.

Please check the site often as additional updates will be posted as information becomes available. We will put a note in this section and a date by the individual topic as information is added or updated.

See you on August 21, 2008!!

•

On this website, you will find information useful to prepare for the program: registering for courses, financial aid, schedules, mandatory health/safety requirements, etc.

•

Save your letter of admission! It has important information including the name of your advisor. You will need to contact your advisor in order to register for courses.
