Nursing Education Xchange (NEXus)
Oregon and Health Science University is a member of NEXus (The Nursing Education Xchange). NEXus is collaboration between participating doctoral programs in nursing that allows doctoral 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, Shauna Hoffman, facilitates the registration and transcription of these courses from partner institutions.
Required Forms
- NEXus Enrollment Form
- Registration Form
- Non-Degree Application
- Consortium Agreement (please refer to your campus coordinator)
Financial Considerations
The current rate for a NEXus course is $750.00 per semester credit and is adjusted to $500.00 per quarter credit. 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 consortium agreement.
Registration Deadlines
You (the student) 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 OHSU calendar so advanced planning financially and academically is critical. View a complete list of registration deadlines.
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).
