Appointments will resume Monday, January 12
Advising appointments for TTUHSC School of Nursing programs may be scheduled no more than two weeks in advance. Attempts to schedule outside of this timeframe will result in an error message.
Thank you for your interest in the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Nursing (TTUHSC SON). Our admissions coaches are here to support you with long-term educational planning and to connect you with resources that strengthen your nursing school application. We strongly encourage prospective students to meet with us during the academic year for meaningful discussions about goals, preparation, and concerns.
1. Research Your Program Become familiar with the admission requirements that apply to you. The TTUHSC School of Nursing Catalog, available on our website, contains essential information. While requirements may change, the current catalog serves as your official guide to program requirements.
2. Be Prepared Come to your appointment with a list of specific questions or topics you wish to discuss. Common topics include prerequisite coursework, application deadlines, interviews, academic calendars, and cost of attendance. If discussing prerequisite courses, have specific course information and SON deadlines prepared in advance.
3. Be Punctual and Communicate You are expected to keep all scheduled appointments. If you are unable to attend, you must notify the office in advance. While emergencies do occur, it is your responsibility to inform your admissions coach as soon as possible.
1. Be Available Admissions coaches are accessible throughout your pre-nursing journey—not only at the time of application. Coaches are available via voicemail and email and will respond within one business day.
2. Be Knowledgeable You can expect accurate information regarding TTUHSC SON programs, requirements, procedures, policies, and deadlines.
3. Be Respectful and Supportive Admissions coaches will treat you with professionalism, respect, and care. Advising is an interactive process that considers your goals, strengths, and challenges.
Admissions coaches allow a 7-minute grace period after the scheduled start time. After this period, the appointment must be rescheduled in order to respect the time of other prospective students.
Your current institution’s academic advisors and department chairs are the best resources for:
Add/drop and withdrawal deadlines
Degree requirements outside pre-nursing
Illness or family-related academic concerns
Classroom or grading issues
Academic standing
Double majors or degrees
Graduation planning
Contacting your academic advisor can often provide quick and accurate guidance.
Admissions coaches are not personal counselors. Personal concerns should be addressed through your institution’s Counseling Center or Student Affairs.
Admissions coaches are not tutors. They do not provide supplemental or remedial instruction.
Admissions coaches are professional contacts, not drop-in resources. Please respect their time by scheduling appointments in advance.
Select an appointment based on the first letter of your last name.
Appointments are available by phone, Zoom, or in person.
Face-to-face appointments are held at the Office of Admissions in Lubbock.
Important: Appointments scheduled outside of your designated last-name time slot will be canceled. If available times do not work with your schedule, email applynursing@ttuhsc.edu to request an alternate appointment.
