Nursing Education Xchange
What is NEXus?
Imagine expanding your nursing education beyond your home campus! The Nursing Education Xchange (NEXus) opens up exciting opportunities. As a CU Nursing doctoral student, you can take courses at other leading nursing schools across the country. Plus, we welcome doctoral students from our partner institutions to join CU Nursing classes. Whether you're interested in Nursing Education, working with diverse populations, or other specialized topics, NEXus helps you find the perfect courses to match your interests – even if they're not offered at your home school.
The University of Colorado College of Nursing is a key partner in this exciting program.
Registration Deadlines
Each university has its own registration and payment deadlines. These might be different from your home school's calendar, so plan ahead! Check our Non-Degree programs for specific dates.
Academic Guidance
Before you dive in, keep these important tips in mind:
- Talk to your academic advisor or committee chair before selecting a course
- NEXus courses can't replace your core or main area courses
- You can use these courses to fulfill method or general elective requirements
- You'll need to complete all course requirements fully
- Reach out to the course faculty beforehand to understand course prerequisites, vacation periods, campus requirements, technology needs, and discussion formats (live or recorded)

Financial Information
The NEXus Common Price is a flat rate that covers tuition and fees for courses at partner institutions. This rate applies when you take a course outside your home campus and doesn't cover late payment or missed deadline fees. CU College of Nursing students need to submit a CU Consortium Agreement to use financial aid.
Quick note: Oregon Health Sciences University and Loma Linda University use a quarter system.
