Current Students
Advising
Newly admitted graduate students will work with Melissa Moody, Post-licensure Academic Advisor, to review the academic program and outline a plan of study to follow for program completion. Melissa is available to work with students individually throughout the program and also holds student meetings by program each semester to ensure students have what they need to be successful. Each semester, prior to the registration for the upcoming term, Melissa will connect with all students by email about the registration process.
To schedule an appointment with Melissa, e-mail mkmoody@ilstu.edu.
Registration schedule:
| Term | When students register |
| Spring | October–December |
| Summer and Fall | March–May |
Please note: Students must be in compliance with all health and safety requirements in order to register.
Clinicals
If you plan to enroll in out-of-state clinicals or practicum experiences, you must contact your advisor a minimum of one semester in advance of placement. Please be aware that some state placements may not be possible based on Board of Nursing requirements for that state.
