Pursuant to 201 KAR 20:280 Section 4(2), a prospective nursing program shall not be announced, advertised, or students admitted to the program of nursing until the proposal has been approved and developmental status has been granted by the Board.

After completing the registration process, the user(s) will have full access to the EDvera system for the prospective nursing program.
