I'm considering MEPN application to the UofA next year. I've been in touch with the advisor, Chris Sogge, for the past 3 years. I have a B.S. in Computer Science and a M.Sc. in Biology from Canada . Chris said that I need a pre-req GPA of 3.7 at least to get into the program; mine is 3.3. Do I stand any chances? Did anyone get in with lower pre-req grades? I'm trying to juggle pre-req taking with a toddler. Thanks so much for your advice!
I also contacted the Arizona Board of Regents, whom is the board that will meet on April 2&3 to vote on the tuition changes. There is an online form where we can voice our concerns and it will be reviewed by the board members, below is a link to the form.
In addition, the person answering the phone at the Board of Regents office gave me the Board Secretary's email address as another point of contact to send our concerns. Her name is Suzanne Templin [email protected]
I will send my concerns through the link and to the board secretary. Really hoping they reconsider!!
Thank you for posting the link to submit comments to the bored of regents. Not only did I ask for them to not increase tuition but to decrease tuition for those of us going into a field where so many are putting themselves in harms way to fight on the front lines of this Coronavirus with limited PPE and other supplies. I wonder how many nurses will leave the profession because of all of this ?
I emailed CON, Suzanne Templin and submitted a form to the Regents Board. Hoping they recognize that a tuition increase at this time will be absolutely unreasonable...
Also, I was unable to attend the webinar last week due to work. I saw the email with the link, but it will not work for me. I wanted to ask here before emailing them... Anyone have this problem and solve it? Thanks!
I chatted with IT support about the webinar link requiring a UA Box Account. They said they will not issue a Box account to incoming students (only current students), so I emailed CON about it too and hopefully they can send out a working link to the webinar.
I did get a reply from the Board of Regents. The April 2 meeting has been postponed and they will be rescheduling it for an unknown future date.
There was no mention that they wouldn't raise tuition, just that there wouldn't be a meeting this week. They did state that it would be rescheduled.
I replied and asked what that meant for our tuition; will it stay the same or increase at a later date? The woman replied and said to contact the school regarding that matter.
@MamaJess20 did they tell you they wouldn't be raising it at all anymore?
