College of Nursing Leadership
Students must review the Practicum Manuals and Field Experience website before contacting the College of Nursing faculty or administration. Students must follow the appropriate chain of command to properly resolve questions or issues. For academic related concerns, students must first contact their course faculty instructor. If the concern or issue is not resolved, the student should contact their Program Coordinator for resolution before contacting their Program Director. After contacting their Program Director and the concern or issue remains unresolved, the final contact in the chain of command is the Dean for the College of Nursing.
