Congratulations on your acceptance and welcome to the UCSF School of Nursing.
Below you will find resources to help orient you to UCSF and the School of Nursing, as well as prepare you for your first academic year.
Collaborative Learning Environment
CLE – Collaborative Learning Environment is the system that UCSF uses to manage course information and resources. Your faculty will use CLE to house syllabi, assignments, exams, etc. The Office of Student Affairs also manages several student resources pages in CLE that are relevant to recently admitted/entering students as well as current students and those soon to graduate. You will find the UCSF CLE at: http://cle.ucsf.edu Note: You might hear CLE referred to as “Moodle,” which is the software platform on which the CLE is built.
