SON Advising Center


Linking Students with Resources for Success 

Students and pre-nursing advisors work together to form a collaborative and mutually beneficial relationship and educational experience. Part of this experience requires the student to learn how to be prepared for advising appointments. The DARS system allows students to run a STAR report, or audit, on any academic major or minor.

Additionally, it is very important that all students are aware of academic deadlines which are posted on the University Student Records homepage. The NMSU Catalog contains degree plans, course descriptions, academic policies, and graduation information.


Undergraduate Advising

Students who are completing pre-requisite courses for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Degree, are admitted to NMSU as pre-nursing majors (PNUR) and obtain academic advising through the Center for Academic Advising and Student Success (CAASS). Advising for current BSN students, as well as military and 2nd degree seeking applicants is provided by the SON Advising Center in HSS 110. 

To meet with a BSN advisor, please call 575-646-3812 or email nursing@nmsu.edu to schedule an appointment.

Candice Alhanfoosh will have weekly online Zoom drop-in sessions every Tuesday and Thursday (Tuesdays from 9:00 am -11:00 am, Thursdays from 2:00 pm- 4: 00 pm) at https://nmsu.zoom.us/j/85285752185
