This is the preliminary (or launch) version of the 2024-2025 VCU Bulletin. Courses that expose students to cutting-edge content and transformative learning may be added and notification of additional program approvals may be received prior to finalization. General education program content is also subject to change. The final edition and full PDF version will include these updates and will be available in August prior to the beginning of the fall semester.
Nondegree-seeking students
Students who have not been admitted to a graduate program in nursing may be admitted to individual courses. Permission to register for courses is granted at the discretion of the School of Nursing. Only 12 credits earned as a nondegree-seeking student can be applied to the master’s degree. Only three credits may be earned by post-professional certificate students prior to admission.
Enrollment
Students will begin study during the fall semester, with the exception of post-professional certificate students, who will start in the spring term. Students will have an academic adviser appointed and will follow the standard program of study. Once admitted, students are expected to abide by enrollment policies of the Graduate School.
