Registration

Tan Chingfen Graduate School of Nursing

Students are admitted through the Tan Chingfen Graduate School of Nursing. The matriculation process for new students is conducted during the summer.

All students registering for courses at the UMass Chan Medical School must be positively identified. In order to establish positive identification, students must present a government issued picture ID and verification of social security number (i.e. social security card, W-2).

The UMass Chan Medical School requires all students admitted to the Tan Chingfen Graduate School of Nursing to complete the Student Health Clearance process prior to matriculation. Non-matriculated students must obtain health clearance prior to taking clinical courses. This policy was developed to decrease risk of transmission of potential infectious agents. It is part of each student’s professional responsibility to maintain health clearance throughout his/her educational experience at UMass Chan.

All clinical sites within UMass Chan and outside of UMass Chan require documentation of medical clearance prior to starting any clinical educational experience. Student Health Services (SHS) is responsible for tracking this clearance process for all students and notifying students who need updated clearance information via email.

Any student who fails to comply with SHS requests to complete the clearance process by the first day of class will be reported to the Dean of the Tan Chingfen Graduate School of Nursing and the Registrar’s Office for further action including suspension of registration. Suspension of registration would result in being withheld from classes and all clinical educational experiences.

Required forms can be downloaded from SHS http://www.umassmed.edu/studenthealth/. For additional information, please call (508) 334-8464.
