All students applying for the spring 2026 clinical nursing program are required to create a Complio account and add the compliance package to meet the health and safety requirements. If you do not complete this step, your application may not be considered for advancement, or it could be withdrawn from consideration.

Spring 2026 Health and Safety Deadlines

September 2, 2025: To stay on track, you must set up your Complio account and add the compliance package. Detailed instructions and the passcode are available in the advancement guide. 

October 1, 2025: You are required to complete all health and safety requirements, except the drug screening, criminal background check, and statement of health clearance. If you do not complete these requirements by the deadline, you will not be considered for advancement. 

October 24, 2025 (expected deadline, subject to change): If you are selected for advancement or alternate status, you will receive additional instructions for completing the remaining health and safety requirements. Failing to complete these steps by the given deadline will result in the loss of your advancement or alternate status. 

The advancement guide provides step-by-step instructions (including the passcode: PRETRK) for setting up your Complio and adding the compliance package. You can also use the health and safety checklist (linked below) as a helpful tool to stay organized, but it does not replace the full details in the advancement guides.
