EllieBell and AggieNurse12, how does the drug test work? I am signing up and paying tomorrow, and then do they call you for that day? Where did you have to go? How much notice do you get? I'm concerned cause I live in the Woodlands, and I have a full time job that I usually work from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day except only till 2 on Friday. What if I can't get to wherever it is on that day? I have clients, and can't just take off. Also, what email did you get registration and payment info on? Personal? or do we have UT email accounts now? I didn't get anything yet.

Thanks so much for the info!

The drug test was pretty simple. I registered and paid Sunday evening and then I got an email (sent from them at like 4:30 am) that I was scheduled to test Tuesday, March 31 at a center in Houston anytime from 8-5. I'm currently still in College Station so I just called the customer service number on Monday morning to see if there was a testing facility closer to me so I wouldn't have to drive to Houston. They took my name and called me back and located a testing place near me and asked when I would be available to go take it so I just did it yesterday. They were really easy to work with and seemed very flexible.

I didn't get the email..and as far as I know we don't have UT email accounts. I haven't heard otherwise.

Anyone interested in starting a new thread for accelerated to help get us through the holds/orientation? This one is so long and complicated!

I got it from the school yesterday. They said that registration begins April 6 and we must pay tuition the day we register! That is early for me so I think we will all prob. we taking the same classes and therefore do not have to worry about choosing our schedule. I would not worry at all if you have not gotten it yet-I sent in my intent to accept and payment right away and I think mail goes fast b/c I am right down the street from the school! Yeah-what do you think, that we will have a set of classes chosen for us?

EllieBell · Mar 31, 2009

Yes-I will start a new thread. Javagabby

EllieBell · Mar 31, 2009

So I started a new thread under "general nursing student discussion". I was going to say javagabby you may have to just call them-the email made it look like it was inflexible but maybe not! Post to the new thread if you want to :)

Thanks! I'll migrate to the new thread! And thanks for the advice!

Hi everybody, i am new to this blogging thing and i think it is kinda cool. i got accepted into the accelerated program as well but i have not received anything. i called but never seem to get anybody. Is the anybody out there that is in the same predicament? If i do not get it by today i am going to the school. Please advice me on what to do.

EllieBell · Mar 31, 2009

Call the student affairs office at 713 500 2199. there is a menu option for speaking to someone and they almost always have someone there. otherwise tarsha young has always been helpful to me-you can look up her # on the school website. i would say that it got lost in the mail but as i got mine less than a week ago it could just be slow-good luck!
