PUBLIC NOTICE: ACEN Accreditation Approval
Documentation of Proof of Notification to Students Regarding Accreditation Status April 2021
The Nursing Department typically sends communications to students using the email address you have provided on your application. Since email has been adopted as a primary mechanism for sending official communications to students, students must check email regularly in order to read important messages and notifications. Certain communications may be time-sensitive. Failure to read official university communications sent to the students does not absolve students from knowing and complying with the content of those official communications. Students must also ensure that there is sufficient space in their e-mail inboxes to allow email to be delivered and received. Be sure that emails are not being sent to your junk mail/SPAM.
