University of Hawaii at Manoa is a member of NEXus (The Nursing Education Exchange). NEXus is collaboration between participating doctoral programs in nursing that allows doctoral students enrolled at member colleges and universities to take courses that may not be offered at their home institution for a common tuition price. The University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) NEXus staff liaison coordinates course offerings and facilitates faculty and student selection of courses.
Financial Considerations
A student enrolling in a course through NEXus will pay a NEXus Common Price per credit hour directly to the Teaching Institution. Visit the NEXus Common Price page for current rates and for details about what is covered by the fees. As with all courses, you are responsible for the cost of your books and educational materials.
NEXus courses may qualify for financial aid. If you are receiving aid and plan on taking a NEXus course, please complete and route a consortium agreement to the UHM NEXus Campus Staff Coordinator. The completed form will be routed to the teaching school Financial Aid office for completion.
Registration Deadlines
The student is responsible for meeting the registration and payment deadlines of the institution that is offering the course. In some cases, this will not coincide with the UH Manoa calendar. Advanced financial and academic planning is required to ensure the student can access the requested course. View a complete list of NEXus institutions registration deadlines.
