Academic Services (AS) functions within the School of Nursing primarily to serve students and prospective students. AS facilitates student progress; helps to implement and evaluate curricula; problem solves student academic issues; and leads recruitments and admissions. AS is a resource for faculty, staff, and the community. To accomplish our mission, we work in standing teams (admissions, student services, site coordination, and marketing), ad hoc teams, and as individual staff.

AS supports you through counseling resources and learning support. BSN students also receive academic counseling with Dagmar Schmidt, who coordinates the BSN program, handles academic advising, schedules student clinical assignments, and acts as an advocate on behalf of the BSN students with faculty and other UW departments.

Academic Services will communicate with you in several ways. Important course information, deadlines, and announcements will be made via e-mail. Information posted on bulletin boards outside T310 includes registration information, BSN clinical placements, changes in classes or assignments, scholarship opportunities, and announcements. Please check the bulletin boards frequently. BSN and masters students have mail boxes located in the student lounge (T441). Doctoral students have carrels in assigned rooms and must designate a fellow student to retrieve mail for the carrels in that room from the appropriate mailbox in T310. Messages and information will be placed into your mailbox.

Occasionally, we will need to communicate with you by letter or telephone. It is essential that we have your current address and telephone number and that you notify us of any changes, including where you will be during breaks. Please also ensure that the UW Registrar's Office has your most current address on record. We will respect any instructions you give us concerning the confidentiality of this information.

Finally, if there is a need to reach you in an emergency, we have a copy of your academic schedule and will try our best to find you if someone has called with an emergency. We recommend leaving information about your current clinical placement with family and friends, including the name and phone number of the site as well as the name of the instructor/preceptor. Please ask your family and friends to use this channel only when other means of communication have not worked. The telephone number is (206) 543-8736.
