Academic Advisor/Principal Advisor
Based on the student's interests and background, the College of Nursing Graduate Division Director formally matches the student with a faculty advisor/mentor who collaboratively works with the student to determine the course schedule; and monitors the student's progress in both course work and research practicum hours. The student's clinical research interests guide the selection of the Advanced Clinical Research Practicum and Dissertation Committees.
Academic Progression
Specific regulations governing the process that results in final awarding of the degree are developed by The Graduate College. Unique Division program requirements and regulations are approved by The Graduate College Council. Divisions will be explicit and clear concerning academic policies and procedures surrounding qualifying, preliminary, and final examinations when they are required. The Divisions are also responsible for providing the candidate with the support needed to plan and conduct the thesis or dissertation research. At the same time, a major responsibility of the student is to become familiar with the regulations and expectations of his/her chosen Division. These regulations and expectations are included in the Rush University Catalog within the section devoted to each Divisional program and within program publications. It is considered to be the student's responsibility to remain knowledgeable about these program regulations as they are set forth as they may change from time to time.
