Advising Information
Your Advisor
Upon admission, the doctoral coordinator is the academic advisor for all doctoral Nursing students.
Registration
Registration for the Spring semesters begins in mid-October. Registration for Fall semester and Summer sessions begins in mid-March. Schedules are available through URSA and are typically posted several weeks before the registration period begins.
Students must schedule an appointment to meet with the doctoral coordinator each semester to discuss academic progress and plans for the next semesters. At that meeting, students will receive their Time Appointment Letter, which includes the Personal Identification Number (PIN) needed to access the registration system. Sign-up times for advising appointments are posted in mid-February and mid-September and advisees are notified by e-mail when advising appointments begin.
E-mail
Students are expected to check their IUP e-mail frequently and use their IUP e-mail address when sending e-mail to anyone in the IUP community. Important and helpful information is sent to students from the coordinator, secretary, registrar, and others. Assistance with the use of the IUP e-mail system and other technology support is available at the IT Support Center.
Resources and Information
University Records and Systems Assistant (URSA)

- Make academic success a priority: Do your work first and there will be plenty of time for getting involved in campus, community, and social activities.
- Seek help to succeed and excel: IUP offers outstanding academic support services that help students be successful in their classes. Meet with your professors during their office hours and take advantage of workshops, supplemental instruction, and the Writing Center.
