Register for undergraduate Professional Liability Insurance (PLI) in EKU Direct as you would a class.
NOTE: Fall '22 CRN #10776 covers Fall '22 --> Summer '23.
Verify all CastleBranch requirements are up to date THROUGH AUGUST 31ST. Refer to *CastleBranch Information below and clinical requirements in the BSN Student Handbook.

*CastleBranch Information: Adherence to the SON clinical records policy (p. 49 in the BSN Student Handbook) is required for eligibility to participate in clinical courses. The deadlines to submit updates to CastleBranch are:

It is the student's responsibility to confirm CastleBranch requirements have been met prior to requesting overrides for clinical courses. All required documents must be accepted and cannot expire during the term. Students cannot have any requirements set to expire prior to or during the month of August. To avoid disenrollment, updated documents must be submitted and accepted PRIOR to the requirement expiration date.
