You are able to track your degree progress through the UW-Green Bay Student Information System (SIS), All students have a Nursing Program advisor who works in collaboration with nursing faculty. The advisor helps the student interpret institutional requirements, provides advice about courses, and helps the student interpret progress toward the degree. Students have the responsibility of contacting the Nursing Program advisor at least once a year for academic progress planning. Email any of the following Nursing Advisors with questions – Jennifer Schwahn (); Sharon Gajeski (); Ruth Pearson (). Or call them at 920-465-2826 or 888-674-8942.

With advisor approval, requirements may be fulfilled by courses at other institutions. Taking courses at other institutions may affect eligibility for All University (Latin) Honors. You need at least 120 credits to graduate with at least 30 upper level nursing credits and 30 residency credits.
