After your application is reviewed by the nursing program, you will receive a second notification email. Return to your ConexED student dashboard to view your application and milestones or upload additional documents. Milestone completion will be approved by the nursing program to verify application steps have been completed or required documents have been received.

It is important that you verify your application was submitted and transcripts or other items were received before the application deadline.
