Compliance for returning students
Returning students receive a list of compliance requirements to complete in order to attend classes. Two types of documentation are needed:
- medical documentation
- certifications and trainings
All medical documentation is submitted, tracked and verified through Wilce Student Health Center. Requirement deadlines are specific to each program, curriculum plan and mode of instruction. Students are considered noncompliant if one or more requirements are not fulfilled. Noncompliant students are prohibited from attending clinical and health assessment.
Maintaining compliance
Students are required to maintain a compliant status as long as they are enrolled in the College of Nursing. Beacon provides a personalized summary of compliance requirements and deadlines, with links and instructions for completing each item.
Risk of noncompliance
Students are responsible for ensuring their clinical compliance requirements do not lapse during their time in the program. The Office of Student Affairs and Success will send email notifications (osu.edu email account) to noncompliant and at-risk students. An at-risk status indicates a compliance requirement will expire soon. Students must take immediate action upon receiving a compliance notification.
Instructions
You must follow the submission instructions for each requirement. Compliance status is updated only after documentation is submitted correctly and fully processed. Processing may take up to 8-10 business days during peak periods.
You can access the submission instructions one of two ways:
- By selecting your program below or
- By logging into Beacon. Please note compliance status will not be updated in the portal unless the correct documentation is submitted per instructions.
A medical or religious exemption is requested for any immunization requirement, the exemption must be submitted Student Life Disability Services.
