April 2024

Your academic advisor is available to address your schedule questions, discuss application requirements, direct you to campus resources, and talk about opportunities at Grand Valley.

Drop-in advising is available April 1st - April 5th for quick and immediate course registration needs. 

Phone, virtual, and in-person appointments are available.

The Kirkhof College of Nursing's Office of Student Services is hosting two application preparation sessions. We encourage students who are planning to apply in the next application cycles to try and attend one of the two sessions:

If you are unable to attend, please check out the application preparation website or meet with an advisor in an individual appointment to learn more.

The application consists of four components: (1) GPA, (2) Student Profile, (3) Personal Statement, and (4) Interview. The Personal Statement and Student Profile are available to download well before the application opens each semester.

Download these two documents and work on them in advance. This will give you plenty of time to brainstorm your thoughts, ask your academic advisor questions, and have things reviewed by the writing center, family, etc. 

It's important to dedicate time and energy to filling out these documents so that they are truly representative of you, your experiences, and your readiness for the program.
