2024 - 2025 College Handbook
Welcome to the 2024-2025 CNHP Handbook. This handbook is a compilation of selected policies and guidelines that apply to all students, faculty, and staff in the Kinney College of Nursing and Health Professions.
We have attempted to not duplicate university policies by directing you within this handbook to the university website as applicable. This handbook is in addition to the student and faculty handbooks addressing specific programs. The intent of this handbook is not to duplicate policies and guidelines within the program handbooks but provide consistency across CNHP programs on selected USI and CNHP policy statements.
I encourage each of you to review the statements in this handbook.
Dr. Julie McCullough, Dean, Kinney College of Nursing and Health Professions
