Override Forms
Override FAQs
All NSC courses are restricted and require our office to process an override or “chair approval” in the registration system to permit a student to register. This allows the School of Nursing to confirm clinical policy compliance and reserve the courses for enrolled nursing students. The office staff will process each student’s specific nursing course overrides after an the student’s online override request form is submitted.
No, do not submit multiple override request forms. Duplicate forms will be disregarded. All forms are received and logged in our system for processing. If you need to update a CastleBranch requirement or register for PLI, the request form will be put on hold until you notify us that your requirement(s) are ACCEPTED in CastleBranch or PLI registration is completed (when applicable). Once overrides are processed, you will receive an email from no-reply@eku.edu with a list of CRN#’s clearing you to register for nursing courses. ASN overrides and BSN mid-curriculum overrides are processed by Angie Wheeler. BSN final year curriculum overrides and BSN summer overrides are processed by Stephanie Woolery.
If you are clear in CastleBranch, you should submit the override form now. If necessary, you can wait to submit the form later this semester CastleBranch requirements cannot be set to expire before August 31 for the fall term, May 31 for the summer term and January 31 for the spring term. You will not be closed out of nursing courses while waiting for overrides to be processed. Nursing courses are reserved for nursing students.
Students should call CastleBranch customer service at (888) 723-4263 or use the online chat feature for assistance to obtain upcoming expiration dates. Do not rely on a green check mark in your account indicating current compliance as of today’s date. Students can download a “Compliance Summary Report” to view each requirement’s expiration date. Students can refer to the CastleBranch summary report instruction document emailed to all students. Your compliance summary report is located in the Document Center. To view your compliance summary report, select the “My Documents” tab and then the folder that matches the name of the compliance tracker from your To-Do List.
We can’t process overrides until a student has updated CastleBranch requirements through August 31 for the fall term, May 31 for the summer term and January 31 for the spring term. Updating all CastleBranch requirements through the month the term begins ensures students will have met their clinical requirements as the semester starts. Clinical sites check students’ CastleBranch accounts before classes start.
You’ll need to call CastleBranch customer service at (888) 723-4263 or use the online chat feature to ask that customer service open a new slot(s) for early renewal. When CastleBranch opens a new slot, you can expect the requirement to temporarily read “overdue” until the new document is uploaded. This temporary situation is acceptable and will not affect overrides/enrollment.
