NURSING STUDENT COMMUNICATION All academic students receive a free WCCCD Student E-Mail Account upon enrollment. This account provides students with instant access to important student and District information and a safe and secure method by which to communicate with the nursing program and all WCCCD faculty, staff and students. All official college communication to students will arrive through the WCCCD student e-mail account. Students are also encouraged to read the postings on the nursing bulletin boards located near the Nursing Office on a regular basis. Information may include lottery dates and times, grades, scholarships, schedule changes, job opportunities, etc. ACADEMIC SUPPORT A full-time faculty member will be assigned to each student early in the first semester of the nursing program and for its duration. The assignment of these instructors is intended to facilitate a student’s progression through the program and to make them available to address student concerns and discuss future goals. It is the nursing student’s responsibility to initiate contact with the assigned faculty member. NURSING STUDENT REGISTRATION PROCESS Registering for any NUR class must follow this process: • WCCCD Academic registration form to be attained in the Nursing office. Student must receive signature of nursing staff member for classes in order to register for the term. • Once registration form is completed and signed, the student precedes IN- PERSON to the campus registration office to register for NUR courses. Online registration is not permitted for NUR coded courses. • Once in-person registration is completed student proceeds to the cashier. Student should be prepared to pay the 65% of TOTAL of all registered classes*. *Failure to pay fees (missing payment deadline, etc.) as required by the College may subject the student to being removed from a course: theory and clinical. Once a student is removed from a clinical rotation the student is no longer enrolled in that course. After paying the necessary fees the student registers based on space availability. There is no guarantee of clinical availability in the current semester. The Nursing Program will try to facilitate enrollment as much as possible given the space limitations. Students who cannot show proof of registration will not be permitted into the classroom or clinical site. 13
