About NEXus

The WSU College of Nursing is a member of NEXus (The Nursing Education Xchange). NEXus is collaboration between participating doctoral programs in nursing that allows doctoral and masters students enrolled at member colleges and universities to take courses that may not be offered at his/her home institution for a common price.

Our NEXus liaison, Campus Staff Coordinator Wendy Ovall, facilitates the registration and transcription of these courses from partner institutions.

Registration Deadlines

Students are responsible for meeting the registration and payment deadlines of the institution that is offering the course. In most cases, this will not coincide with institution name calendar so advanced planning financially and academically is critical.

Visit https://winnexus.org/deadline-dates/ for a complete list of enrollment deadlines.

Financial Considerations

The NEXus course cost is a per credit hour rate and updated annually. This fee is intended to cover all associated university fees such as technology, library, or application fees. As with all courses, you are responsible for the cost of your books and educational materials.

NEXus courses may qualify for financial aid. If you are receiving aid and plan on taking a NEXus course, please contact the financial aid office to complete and route a WSU College of Nursing Consortium Agreement document.

Academic Considerations

  • Decisions about selecting a NEXus course must be made in consultation with your academic advisor/committee chair.
  • Students enrolled in a NEXus course must meet all course requirements.
  • Students are encouraged to contact the course faculty in advance to ensure that they understand the course requirements (for example, prerequisite courses, vacation periods, on-campus requirements, technology requirements, synchronous versus asynchronous discussions).
