UCF- Accelerated BSN Starting Summer 2012

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Anyone applying for UCF's accelerated BSN program beginning in Summer 2012?

I would definitely contact the CON immediately. It seems very odd that you haven't been contacted yet since everyone I've talked to found out their status on Friday of last week. Some people mentioned that despite the university being closed for spring break the CON is still open. Let us know what happened when you find out.

has anyone not recieved any sort of email? all of my information was in and i was told that they had everything they needed. i have checked all mailboxes and spam folders and have not been contacted in anyway. any ideas?

Yeah I would call ASAP. I remember the adviser mentioned at one of the question sessions that everyone hears at once, and that if you start hearing that all of your friends have heard and you haven't, to contact them :)

Hope you hear soon!

Another question for those of you already in the program:

I need to purchase a new laptop before classes start in May, because the one I am using is old and probably won't make it much longer. I am just wondering how necessary it is to have one? Do most students bring laptops to class to take notes, etc? Is there any special program, etc that I'll need or work I won't be able to do if I do not have one?

Thanks for any help you may have!

Most people have laptops and bring them to class but there are some people who print out the lectures/power points and bring them to class and write notes. It is really just a matter of personal preference. There is no special program that the College of Nursing uses or requires.

Now comes the stress of paying for school while affording my life and not working. It is a little stressful, especially since I won't know what my financial aid package is until 2 weeks before school starts! And I can't seem to get a hold of anyone that can tell me how much I am expected to pay on day one.

Has anyone received anything in mail yet after being accepted?

First semester tuition is about $2800, uniforms about $100, books about $1500, and the nurse's pack was around $150. The first semester is a killer on the bank account for sure.

All correspondence is done through email.

HHK- books and uniforms are only purchased for the first semester, right? So for the rest of the time it should be basically just tuition costs?

Just got the email that I am approaching the limits on my federal loan capacity, so into fin aid I go on Monday morning!

You only need to purchase uniforms the first semester unless you get some horrible stain on them in clinical and need to replace them. Books you buy every semester with first semester being the most expensive.
