Skip to content. Columbia University School Nursing is committed to preparing future nurses by offering an excellent education, beginning with prerequisite courses. The Online Prerequisites for Entry to Nursing OPEN program allows non-nurses to take courses needed to apply to nursing school or other health professions schools that require science prerequisites. All courses are taught by Columbia University faculty and are undergraduate-level.
Course offerings are available three times per year with each session lasting ten weeks. The modules are set up independently and allow registration for courses to be taken concurrently. Upon completion, all grades are posted on an official transcript from Columbia University. The courses are fully accredited and transferable. In alignment with our commitment to social justice and health equity, these courses are offered online and at a discounted tuition.
For program related questions please contact cuson-open cumc. Students that cross-register will be billed by their home school. Please note that submission of this form does not guarantee permission to cross-register. Students enrolled in the OPEN Program are considered active, non-degree students for a period of three semesters or one academic year. Admissions does not grant deferrals in the OPEN program and will need to reapply if they cannot enroll in the semester they are applying to.
This undergraduate-level introductory course provides an overview of the science of nutrition and nutrition's relationship to health promotion and disease prevention. Please remember to request that your transfer credit be sent to UI Admissions as soon as you are enrolled in the course at another institution and again when your grade is finalized if you do not want to experience a possible delay in registering for a course with a prerequisite that you are taking elsewhere.
In some rare cases, if the system cannot read your transfer credit, you will need to contact the department offering the course to explain the situation. See below for more information. Q: I am taking a prerequisite now at another institution but I haven't earned a final grade for the course. The course does show up on my UI student record as "in progress" IP.
Can I register for the course that requires this prerequisite? You will be able to register temporarily for the course if you can see that the prerequisite is reported as "in progress" IP on your student record.
However, you also will need to submit proof that you have passed the course or earned the required minimum grade in it OR you will be removed three business days before the next semester or session begins.
It is your responsibility to make sure that the department offering the course receives information about your final grade. For more information, see the question below.
Q: I am taking a prerequisite at another accredited institution but it does not show up on my student record yet as in progress. What should I do? First, you may request an exception since you are currently enrolled in the prerequisite at an accredited institution. Click on the Student Records tab at the top of the page and in the section called "Courses and Grades," you will find the "In Progress Transfer Work" form.
Complete the "In Progress Transfer Work" form online and attach documentation uploaded from your computer giving evidence of registration in the required prerequisite at another institution.
This does not need to be an official document but must give proof of enrollment, showing your name, the institution, the enrollment information, and the date. Screen shots or related documents that you can scan and then upload into the form are acceptable. Submit the form online; it will automatically be sent to the department overseeing the course that you are trying to enroll in.
You should receive a response to this submitted form within three business days. You will either be given conditional permission to register for the course or you will be denied this permission based on the evidence you submitted.
In some rare conditions and because of other circumstances related to your request, you might receive "permanent permission. Permission to register for the course does not guarantee you a seat or a spot on the waitlist.
At that point, you also may fill out the form and attach evidence. However, it will save you time to fill out the form before your registration date and time occurs. Secondly, after adding a seat in a course because you have been given conditional permission to register for it, you still must submit evidence of your final grade in the course or you will be removed automatically from the course about three days before the next semester begins.
Q: The school where I am taking the prerequisite does not post grades until after I will be removed automatically from a course that needs a completed prerequisite. A: You must report evidence of your final grade even if it is not an official transcript.
You might be able to send a screen shot of your grades from an online grade book or some similar evidence. Coursework is self-paced, and comprises session modules. We recommend registering and beginning as soon as possible to ensure you can complete at the most comfortable pace, or by the optional early deadline, if desired.
