Resurrection University Fall 2012 Applicants

[RickyLatino87]

Hi all,

I am new here and have found the forum to be very informational. I decided to start a thread for Resurrection's fall 2012 applicants. I think it would be good to keep in touch throughout the process, so if you have any questions or comments feel free to express them here. I already submitted my application, transcripts and essay, all I need is to take the TEA's test. I'm taking it in February and am really nervous because I haven't even started studying. Has anyone taken it yet? How was it?

I am also applying to 2 other programs:

Loyola's ABSN program

Truman's Associates in Nursing program

I am debating on applying to UIC's GEP program, DePaul's MENP program and Rush's GEM program.

If anyone else is applying to these, please let me know! Thanks & good luck to all.

The nursing package is on the online student bookstore.

I found it under 3141 Foundation of Nursing. The reason I didnt find it before is because Foundation of Nursing is not yet one of the classes that I am registered for. On July 18th, the counselor only registered us (all of the students attending that Orientation I think) for Term A, and not for Term B. So I dont have Foundation of Nursing on my schedule for Term A. Were all of you registered for Term A and Term B? If so, I need to know so I can contact my counselor and register for Term B. I was under the impression that I would register for that later. We were told nothing else during the Orientation. Im so confused.

[PrayToTheUnicorn]

Yes we registered for both term A and B. Earlier on this thread someone put the list of all those classes so you can go back to compare. You should be able to register for them online through your student portal.

Thanks, I went and registered for Pharmacotherapeutics in Nursing and Health Assessment II for Term B. My academic couselor is out of vacation but I asked someone else from the university. He said I was supposed to be registered for Term B. Its fine now.

I also emailed them about the Nursing Package, but no one answered my question. I wont have Foundations of Nursing till the next semester, so I still dont know if I need the Nursing Package now or if it can wait. Help?

[Anni23]

Now that I am registered for Term B, the tuition due is double what it was before. Still no word from Financial Aid. Arrgg!

I need help I don't know if I will be able to afford textbooks!! I don't have money and my financial aid hasn't been awarded yet... I'm in a rut with having other child expenses and i have been applying for scholarships left and right but havent been chosen for any yet..I was wondering of anyone on here has any ideas or suggestions I'm in desperate need and don't know what else to do ;(

[Anni23]

Storshar. Im sorry to hear about your situation. I havent heard anything about finacial aid yet, and with tuition due 10 days from now, I am also freaking out.

[PrayToTheUnicorn]

You will find out about your scholarship when you find about your loans and other financial aid. If you haven't already, why not email the bursar, which is who you pay for school, and tell him/her that you aren't sure if you can pay because you've heard nothing about financial aid. Also, stay on Shirley like bees on honey. It's the way to make things happen.

[Storshar]

Thank you annie23 and praytotheunicorn I will make sure to contact both bursar and Shirley.. Shirley told me my financial aid would be posted two weeks ago now and I turned in my documents the day I recieved them. so I'm frustrated more now because they are unorganized probably because of the big move..

[PrayToTheUnicorn]

What documents are you referring to? The FAFSA and financial aid authorization form?

[Anni23]

I have received no documents at all from Shirley. What documents did you receive Storshar?

[Storshar]

The authorization form and my marriage certificate I uploaded them right when she had posted them to my document center which was last Monday and still nothing from her!!
