Preparation for meeting with your Academic Advisor:

  • Write down your questions and concerns before your appointment and bring them with you. 
  • If you are meeting with your Academic Advisor to discuss degree progress and course selection/registration for the upcoming semester, please prepare a list of classes that you are interested in taking to discuss during your advising appointment.
  • Be honest with your Academic Advisor and yourself.

Students enrolled in the College of Nursing may e-mail their assigned advisor or schedule an appointment for any questions.

Express Advising

The UK CON Office of Academic and Student Affairs has Express Advising during the start of the of the fall and spring semesters. Additionally, during the semester Express Advising will be every Thursday from 9 am - 12 pm and 1 pm - 4 pm. For Express Advising, students will be seen on a first come first serve basis. Express Advising is meant to provide access to your Academic Advisor for quick and urgent questions, routine check-ins, and time-sensitive issues. For Express Advising meetings that exceed 15 minutes, students may be asked to schedule a follow-up advising appointment.

What happens next?

When a student submits a major/minor/certification change request, the system will send the student a confirmation email with details of their request proposal. At this same time the student’s current primary advisor will be notified of the same. The handler(s) of the college(s) whose purview the student’s request falls under will also be notified by email alerting them a new submission has come in. 

When the student’s request is approved/denied, the student is notified of the decision along with any messages the handlers have created for the student. If a new advisor is assigned for the student by the handler that advisor will also be notified indicating a new student has been assigned to them.

*Please note: Eligibility to switch into the pre-nursing major does not guarantee admission into the BSN program.

Repeat Option

  • If you are repeating a course with the intent to replace the prior grade, complete this online Repeat Option Form through the Office of the Registrar, after the final grade for your second attempt has been entered in your transcript. If you are repeating a course in your final semester before graduation, please complete the form during finals week. 

Class Drop/Withdrawal

  • If you want to drop a class, verify with your advisor that there are no unknown (to you) consequences before completing the process through Registration. Refer to the Academic Calendar for the exact date of the last day to drop each semester.

Dean's List Requirements

To receive Dean's List honors in the College of Nursing, students must earn:

  • A semester GPA of 3.5 or greater.
  • At least 12 credit hours in graded coursework. Earned credit hours taken, pass/fail are excluded. 

If you are not on the Dean's List, but have a 3.5 or greater semester GPA, the following issues could be the reason:

  • You did not earn at least 12 hours of graded credit (i.e. A, B, C) because you took some classes pass/fail or audit. 
  • You earned an F grade. F grades disqualify a student for Dean's List regardless of graded credit hours or semester GPA.
  • You have one or more incompletes (I grade) for the semester.
  • You retook a class you previously earned credit for, and the grade you most recently earned was removed as duplicate credit, putting you below 12 hours.
  • You have an active FERPA privacy flag on your account and therefore cannot be named on any lists released to the public.
    • All eligible students shall have a Dean's List designation on their transcript for the semester, regardless of FERPA privacy status.

Congratulations to those who earned a place on the Dean's List in the College of Nursing! The most recent Dean's list may be found here.

If you do not appear on a Dean's List by the College of Nursing, but think you should, please contact Jackie ThompsonPlease note the College of Nursing is only responsible for the lists we publish. If you are not included on a list published by another office at UK, you must contact the office responsible for the list in question.
