BAT Admitted Student Hub

Congratulations on your acceptance to the Decker School of Nursing's BAT program. A professional advisor from Decker's Division of Advising and Academic Excellence will contact you to discuss any remaining prerequisites you must complete before the program starts.

The Admitted BAT Student Hub is designed to inform you of critical dates and requirements as you prepare to join our program. Content is updated as new information becomes available, so check back regularly. 

Dates, Deadlines and Events

In addition to the Decker-specific dates, deadlines and events listed below, review and bookmark the University's academic calendar and the Student Record and Registrar Services' calendar.

Quick tip: Watch this tutorial to find out how to easily add these calendars to your personal Google calendar.

Health/clinical practice requirements deadline

Refer to Decker's Undergraduate Nursing Student Requirements webpage for your health/clinical practice requirement deadline. Note that the deadline may be before the add/drop deadline, and failure to complete requirements will result in the inability to continue in fall coursework.

If you have a felony or child abuse conviction

Students who have a previous felony or child abuse conviction are advised that their prior criminal history may impede their ability to complete the requirements of certain academic programs and/or meet the licensure requirements of certain professions. Students with a prior criminal history should also be aware that agencies for clinical, field or internship experiences may require a background check. A prior criminal history may preclude participation in such experiences at these agencies. Students concerned about these restrictions are advised to contact the program director of their intended academic program.

Nursing students who are convicted of a felony or child abuse while enrolled in Decker College must report those convictions to their academic program director, as it may change their progression and ability to be placed in a clinical agency. Nursing students who wish to learn if felony/child abuse convictions will negatively impact their ability for licensure should check with the State Board of Nursing in the state where they plan to practice. 

Undergraduate resources

Before the start of the semester, you should carefully review the information on the Decker Undergraduate Resources webpage. Additionally, you can find information about campus resources on the Student Life webpage and Binghamton Support Network webpage.

If you previously completed coursework at Binghamton University, your prior undergraduate record will be included in your cumulative grade point average (GPA). This means your grades from previous courses will be combined with your Decker grades to compute your GPA.
