The registration instructions and clinical requirements are different for all clinical courses. Each clinical course has it's own different set of deadlines that must be met to be enrolled. Please see the deadlines and course specific registration instructions and clinical requirements.
Enrollment Steps:
STEP 1: Request Permission for the Clinical Course.

STEP 2: Your advisor will request to have you added to the Pre-Clinical Canvas Course.
- Once you have been added to the Pre-Clinical Canvas Course, you will receive an invitation to join the class via email.
STEP 3: Access the Pre-Clinical Canvas Course and complete requirements in the course.
- There will be instructions on the Home Page of the Pre-Clinical Canvas Course. You must submit all required documentation prior to the deadlines posted. If you do not, you will be removed from the course and will be required to take the course later. NO EXCEPTIONS.
