Course materials
All distance courses use online websites to facilitate communication throughout the course and to provide administrative course information (e.g., instructor information, assignment due dates). Course content including syllabus, assignments, learning activities etc. will be available the first day of class.
Online ordering of required textbooks will be available from the UVic Bookstore one month prior to the start of term.
Graduation and Licensing
Applying to Graduate
As you near the end of your program, you need to apply to graduate to be awarded your credential. Please see Graduation and convocation for graduate students for timelines and instructions.
If you require a degree completion letter for employers or other purposes, you may order one through Online Tools – Student Services.
You must wait until your official convocation date (June or November) to use your designation (eg MN), even if you complete your program requirements before convocation.
Licensing
The British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) is the regulatory body for nurses in British Columbia. BCCNM regulates licensing for Nurse Practitioners in British Columbia. Please see The BCCNM Nurse Practitioners page for guidance on the application process.
Health Services Researcher Pathway
The Researcher Pathway is a self-assessment tool that helps nurses, including graduate students, assess their research competencies. By working through the material in the Nurse Professional Development Tool: Research Competencies, nurses will better understand their knowledge and skills relevant to research and find resources to advance these competencies.
