PMNP New Student Checklist

New PMNP Student Checklist

How to prepare for entry to the Post-Master NP program once you have received an offer of admission:

1. Accept the offer of admission

   You will receive your offer of admission by mail and by email. You can use either copy to respond to the offer. To accept our admission offer you need to complete and return the School of Graduate Studies Confirmation Form (fax to 416-978-8222 OR scan and email to connect.nursing@utoronto.ca).  We will email you to confirm receipt.

2. Clearing admission conditions

   If you receive a conditional offer of admission, condition(s) will be outlined in your offer letter.

   It is your responsibility to submit all required official document(s) to satisfy admission condition(s) by the due date indicated in your offer of admission.

   Failure to satisfy condition(s) will jeopardize your entry to the program. Once your condition is cleared, you will receive notification via applicant status portal.

3. Immunization

   All newly admitted students are required to complete immunization forms before entering the Post-Master NP program. In order to comply with the Public Hospitals Act, other legislation, and to meet the requirements of the students’ nursing practice placement settings, the immunization forms package must be completed in its entirety.

   Failure to do so can jeopardize your entry to the Post-Master NP program. Please refer to our Immunization Form  FAQ page for more information. Updated information and full details will be sent to newly admitted students via email.

4. CNO Registration (or CNO equivalent if out of province)

   Each Post-Master NP student must submit her/his valid CNO registration number to the Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, Clinical Assistant by August 15. Each student must re-submit her/his valid CNO registration number to the Faculty on an annual basis.

   If you plan to complete your placements outside Ontario, please submit your licensing body’s RN registration details in lieu of a CNO registration number.

   Full details on enrolling in courses will be emailed to all students by the Registrar.
