NSU Health Professions Division 11 Transfer Evaluation Services Graduate and first-professional students may refer to the institutional polices on transferring credits to NSU listed on the TES website at nova.edu/tes. Questions regarding the transfer of graduate/first-professional-level courses should be addressed to the student’s program admissions office. Degree Works Online Degree Evaluations The university’s online degree evaluation system, Degree Works, is a useful reference tool to help students track their progress toward degree requirements published in the college catalog. Students may access Degree Works in SharkLink. Degree Works evaluations are not official and do not replace a student’s academic adviser or college catalog information. Students should consult their specific academic adviser/program office for detailed program requirements and course options. Final approval for the completion of graduation requirements is granted by the program office. For more information, visit the registrar’s office at nova.edu/registrar/degreeworks.html.

Certificate of Physical Examination Most programs require students to have a certificate of physical examination completed by their physicians. Forms will be provided to each matriculant as part of the admissions package or can be downloaded from nova.edu/smc/immunization-forms. Students may request that the University Health Service perform these examinations. The University Health Service will make appointments in as timely a manner as possible. The appointments, once made, become an obligation of the student, and must be kept. These certificates (whether done privately or by the university) will be placed in an appropriate facility. Immunization Requirements Students must complete a mandatory immunization form, which must be signed by a licensed health care provider. The form can be found at nova.edu/smc.
