Frequently Asked Questions

Does the current situation with COVID-19 impact when classes start on August 19?

No. Our online programs are thoughtfully designed with remote students and faculty in mind. All non-clinical online classes are still scheduled to begin on the planned start dates and are not impacted by COVID-19.

Should I anticipate a change in the availability of enrollment advisors, faculty, or course delivery?

No. We are continuing to support students without disruption during this time. Our enrollment advisors are available to assist those who are interested in our online nursing programs, via email, phone, text message or website chat, and will support you through the entire admissions process. We encourage prospective students to use our appointment scheduler to set up a time that is convenient for you. For our current students, we fully expect that they will continue to have full and normal access to faculty and course materials.

Is Carson-Newman still providing Clinical Placement Services during the COVID-19 pandemic?

Yes. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has posed a challenge to securing placements due to reductions in site availability, we continue to monitor and assess availability for clinical placement, with input from healthcare partners. We will continue to work with you individually to find solutions that ensure your success.
