Important Notes - PreNursing The PreNursing program requires a separate application process for entry into the program. You must complete your CORE before the semester you intend to begin the nursing program. For example, students applying for a Fall semester start must complete any outstanding courses by the end of summer semester before that Fall semester begins. Keep up with your GPA. Must have a 2.8 OVERALL GPA and a 2.8 Nursing GPA in order to apply to the College of Nursing Program. (However, strive for higher grades based on competition for entry.)Always have a “Plan B” such as additional programs.Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance into the program.

Important Notes – Dental Hygiene The dental hygiene program requires a separate application process for entry into the program. While it is strongly advised that ALL core courses be completed prior to application to clinical program, ALL sciences MUST be completed prior to the beginning of the FALL semester. (BIOL 2651, BIOL 2652, BIOL 2900, CHEM 1151K, and CHEM 1152K) Keep up with your GPA. You must have an overall 2.5 for the A.A.S. in Dental Hygiene but the program is competitive so strive for higher grades. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance into the program. Only 14 students are entered every fall semester. Must apply by May 15 for Fall Semester start

Important Notes – Athletic Training The athletic training program is competitive. Must have completed 24 semester hours , which includes HSAT 2050 (Intro to Athletic Training), HSAT 4300 (Injury Care and Prevention), and HSAT 3430 (Kinesiology), to applyKeep up with your GPA. You must have a minimum overall GPA of 2.75 for the program but strive higher to be competitiveMeeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance into the program. Only 16 students are entered in the spring semester.

Important Notes – Exercise Physiology To be admitted, you must have: completed areas A-F of the Core Curriculum, have a minimum GPA of 2.75 overall, and have a “C” in all Area A, D, and F core requirements Admissions Cycle: Student begin in the fall semester. Deadline is May 1. Graduate School Opportunities: Exercise Physiology, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physician Assistant, Direct-Entry Nurse Practitioner, Chiropractic, Medical or Osteopathic School, Public Health, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions Does meeting all the criteria for admission guarantee admission? No, it does not guarantee admission. What do I do if I can’t get into a class I need? Talk to your advisor and request an override into the class from that department. What happens if I drop a class (or enroll in a class) that I wasn’t advised to take in that semester? You may not be able to apply when you intended and you may impact financial aid standing.What happens if I don’t attend an advising session? You won’t be able to register for classes.What are the grades I must obtain in order for me to receive credit for them?For Pre-nursing –”C” or better required for AREA F & ALL Sciences; Science courses (can only be repeated once, including NURS 2700 )For Dental Hygiene-A “C” or higher in all core coursesFor Athletic Training- Minimum 2.75 GPA and “C” or higher in HSAT 2050, HSAT 3430, and HSAT 4300For EP, Minimum GPA of 2.75 and “C” or higher in Area, A, D, F coreIf I repeat a class, what happens? For PRENURSING- The most recent grade will be used even if it is lower.FOR DHGY-All attempts are used for overall GPA (no limit on number of times a student can take a course)For AT, all coursework will count toward the overall GPA (including transferred coursework)For EP, all coursework will count toward the overall GPA calculationHow do I get an override into classes?In order to receive an override you would need to contact the department in which that course is taught for the override process in that department.

Time Management “Rule of Thumb” for Study Hours: ( Plan for two hours for every hour registered. It is a good start.) Do not overload yourself. ( If you are working more than 20 hours/week, consider taking no more than 12 hours.)Use a calendar, to . . . Plan ahead (write down due dates for exams, assignments, etc. and the days when you’ll work on these items) Work ahead (always work a few days ahead in case something uncontrollable happens)Study Time (write down the times you’ll study so nothing else will conflict with this allotted time)

Advising Process You must see an advisor each semester to be advised. After discussing your course selection, your advising flag will be lifted Use Suggested Degree PlanImplications if you do not use Degree PlanDo not forget to check DegreeWorks in your Banner account. Log into your Banner accountClick on Student RecordsClick on DegreeWorks (an advising tool)

Registration Log on to your Banner Account Click on “Student Services and Financial Aid” (a tab on top of the page) Click on Registration Click on Select Term, then submit to enter courses For instructions on this, go to http:// www.valdosta.edu/administration/it/its/css/helpdesk/guides/banner/banner-registration.php for a complete list of student guides.
