Announcements and Events
This is a "bulletin board" of sorts for Pre-Health students.
Spring 2019 Semester
These meetings will be offered multiple times on Fridays throughout the entire month
of February. The meeting times and sign-up instructions will be announced through
your UND email, and also included in the December and January Newsletters
Location: A&S Conference Room, Room 1917, Columbia Hall
These meetings are required for all freshmen Pre-Health students!
UND has an Institutional Partnership with Kaplan. Along with the UND dedicated Kaplan Live Online MCAT Review course offered each January-April, UND students may have access to any regular Live Online or Self-Paced version of any Kaplan review course for any test including the MCAT, DAT, OAT, PCAT or GRE.
Our partnership gives students steep discounts off of the current pricing for the general public listed on Kaplan's website. Registration for the UND dedicated Live Online MCAT Review course opens up each fall around the same time as UND Early Registration for Spring semester. Instructions will be given at the 2019 MCAT/DAT/OAT/PCAT/GRE Orientation Meeting in October listed above.
To register for any of the other Kaplan review courses, at any other time of the year, you must:
- Visit the Kaplan website
- Choose your course and version
- Record the Course Code listed
- Register for the course through: UND Kaplan Test Preparation
