Graduate Nursing Student Handbook


The purpose of this Graduate Student Handbook is to provide students, faculty, and applicants to our program with consistent, current information about our program and policies.

Information is updated at least once a year. While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information, the University reserves the right to make changes as circumstances arise. The contents of this Handbook do not, in whole or part, constitute a contractual obligation on the part of the University of Massachusetts, its employees or agents, nor does any part of this Handbook constitute an offer to make a contract. The information in this Handbook is provided solely for the convenience of the reader, and the University expressly disclaims any liability, which may be otherwise incurred.
