Complete the following steps before classes begin:
The Department of Nursing will register you for classes each semester. Once you receive your Miami UniqueID and password, you can view your schedule in Banner. Courses may not appear in Canvas until faculty publish them, typically two to five days before the first day of class.
Purchase required textbooks through Brick & Ivy, Miami's online bookstore. Select the Hamilton campus when searching for courses. All sections will have the same textbooks.
Complete the following DocuSign forms before the first day of the program:
All graduate nursing students must have an MSN or DNP student badge for clinical and practicum experiences. Please submit a current photo during the first week of classes.
Badges are printed out in students' first semester and mailed to students. They are required for clinical rotations. Replacement badges are issued at the student's expense.
A digital Miami ID is optional and may provide access to certain campus resources.
NP students only
All students
Schedule a meeting with Graduate Program Director Jennifer Rode, Ph.D., rodejl@miamioh.edu, to review your plan of study and ask questions.
Approximately six months before your first clinical course, you will receive instructions for completing compliance requirements through DISA Healthcare. Requirements include:
You will be assigned a specific compliance window. Completing requirements too early may result in expiration before your clinical placement. Follow the timelines provided to avoid additional testing, costs or delays.
Compliance requirements are typically completed two to three months before the clinical semester begins and must be submitted by the assigned deadline. Late submissions may delay clinical placement and graduation.
During your first semester, the Clinical Placement Coordinator will provide information about the placement process, timelines and frequently asked questions. Before each clinical course, you will be asked to submit two potential preceptor recommendations.
If you have questions or concerns at any point, please don't hesitate to reach out. Our faculty and staff are here to support you throughout your graduate nursing journey.
We recommend:
One Stop assists students and authorized family members with billing and payment, financial aid, registration, and student records.
For questions about course content, assignments, schedules, or grades contact your course faculty member. Contact information is available in the syllabus and Canvas course site.
