   I am doing the full-time program. As far as campus requirements....all of them take place at the macon campus since that is the graduate campus for GCSU. There is a 1 week orientation at the very beginning of the program that is mandatory and then th...

   If your GPA is high, then try not to worry too much about the GRE. Just do your best on it. They are not looking for any particular minimum score. I was incredibly nervous about the interview as well and those worries turned out to be all for not. It...

5. Lab Values Help

   WBC levels may be elevated before any sign of incision site infection is present. I don't believe HCG levels are drawn routinely. I know we have had patients readmitted after delivery with uncontrolled vaginal bleeding and usually an ultrasound confi...

   Tara0219 replied to _zoubisoubisou_'s topic in General Students

9. WGU Proctored Testing Question

   Tara0219 replied to Lighthouses's topic in Western Governors

   Wasn't saying that you would cheat, just saying that they do make you scan the room and will shut off your test if they feel it has been compromised (i.e. someone walks in, children running around, you answer the doorbell, etc,). Good luck with every...

10. WGU Proctored Testing Question

    Tara0219 replied to Lighthouses's topic in Western Governors

    Definitely not open book, note, etc. The webcam proctors require you do a 360 degree scan of the room prior to starting your exam to make sure you have no notes or anything. They can also cut your exam off if they suspect you are cheating.

    Way to go! Which classes do you have left? Make sure you speak with your mentor and financial aid about prorating your tuition for your second term since you only have 7 CU's left.
