Mission

The mission of the Science Prerequisites for Health Professions program is to provide rigorous courses that help non-matriculated students develop a strong understanding of the content, oral and written communication skills, and critical and innovative thinking skills that provide the foundation for entry into, and successful completion of, graduate programs, particularly in the health sciences.

Program Description

The Science Prerequisites for the Health Professions (SPHP) program is primarily for students who have completed a baccalaureate degree and wish to enter a graduate program, but lack the necessary prerequisite courses. Many students enrolled in these courses will be working professionals. Students may enroll in SPHP courses at any time and from almost anywhere in the world. The courses are designed to be completed in 16 weeks, but they are self-paced, so students may complete the courses at an accelerated pace in order to meet their personal academic needs.

All of the courses in the SPHP program are included in 91AV's regional accreditation by the New England Commission on Higher Education (NECHE), the highest standard of academic accreditation possible.

Many institutions accept these courses, but we encourage you to check with specific schools to verify that the courses are transferrable before you apply and/or register.

For more information on the courses offered within the SPHP program, including prerequisites, registration information, and a description of laboratory components, please call 1 (855) 325-0894 or email prehealth@une.edu.

Academic Policy

Courses in the SPHP program are equivalent to one-semester courses, designed to be completed in 16 weeks.

Enrollment in the course begins the day your section opens, which is listed in the Academic Calendar found on the SPHP Webpage.

Students must wait until the following term to retake a course. If a student wishes to retake a course within the same term, they need permission from the program.

Upon completion of a course, the course instructor submits a grade for each student. Students can typically request an official transcript within 5-7 days after completing the course.

Technology requirements may differ by course. Please email prehealth@une.edu regarding technology requirements for a specific course.

Students take proctored exams online using Proctor U. This requires the student to allow an online proctor remote access to the student's computer. 91AV holds academic integrity in the highest regard, so exams that are not proctored in their entirety are not credited. For instructions on creating an account and testing your equipment, please visit . For detailed information about the mandatory, 91AV-approved webcam and whiteboard needed for all proctored exams, please visit the .

Withdrawal from the Course and Refunds

To withdraw from a course go to the University Registrar website and complete the withdrawal form under "Science Prerequisite Course Forms." All correspondence with the 91AV Registrar's office must be from your 91AV email address. Please complete all sections of the withdrawal form, including your PRN, the CRN, course subject, and number (Example: ANAT 1005). This action will result in a W grade for the course. For withdrawal deadlines, please refer to the academic calendar. Please direct any questions about this process to the Student Service Advisory Team at prehealth@une.edu.
