Submitting Applications

Application Instructions

As a DNP student at UAB, you are required to submit a rotation application to your school coordinators to request a project site. This will allow your school coordinator to review the information and approve the request, if possible.

Below, you'll find detailed instructions on how to submit rotation applications in ACEMAPP.

Step 1 - Check the directory
You may start by checking the ACEMAPP directory for your clinical site and preceptor. To do this, navigate to your student homepage, click the 'Directory' tab, then select 'Entities' and review the list. If your site is not listed, that is ok, you may provide your school with this information in the application.

Step 2 - Search for your application
From your home page, click the "Applications" tab in the upper left corner. Type in UAB in the search box, locate the 'UAB DNP Scholarly Project'. Click the "Start" button on the left to view more details and begin.

Step 3 - Verify and begin application
Review the additional information on this page and click "Apply" to start your application.

Step 4 - Indicate project site
If you were able to find your partner site, type the name as it appeared in ACEMAPP in the 'Partner Entity' box. If your site is not listed, you can select 'Facility Not Listed'.

Step 5 - Indicate timeline and details
Fill out the required fields in the "General" tab, then click "Save and Continue" to move on to the next section.

Step 6 - Complete additional information
Complete all of the application fields to the best of your ability. If you will have multiple clinical mentors, you will have multiple sections to put each clinical mentor's information in. If you only have one clinical mentor, you can enter N/A in the 'ADDITIONAL CLINICAL MENTOR' section. After completing all sections, click "Save" on the final page to submit your application.

Step 7 - Await decision
Your school will review this request. If they approve the project site, the application will be approved and a rotation will be created. The application approval means that your selected project site is an appropriate site. You will receive another email once your rotation request has been approved.
