Hi, the curriculum includes clinicals. However, if you have specific questions regarding the curriculum, you should give the office a call to be sure ?

Does anyone know anything about the GPAs on your transcript vs GPAs on NursingCAS? I received a 3.0 for my undergrad and a 4.0 at my local community college (on transcripts) but when they averaged out on NursingCAS it came out to a 2.99 which honestly freaks me out because UM wants a minimum 3.0 overall. I do have a high science GPA. I'm going to reach out to both NursingCAS and UM but just wanted to. Just wanted to know if anyone else noticed this.

Hi Antho,

NursingCas does their own GPA calculation since they do not apply grade forgiveness policies that universities may use. They take ALL courses (including repeats and course failures) into account and use that average, so your transcript GPA may look different than the NursingCas GPA. 

I wouldn’t bother reaching out to NursingCas since that is their process, just contact UM directly and ask if it will affect you. Also, make sure you check your NursingCas calculations/transcripts to ensure that everything was placed correctly. You can dispute items with NursingCas  if you believe it’s not accurate.

Hope this was helpful. Good luck!
