DNP Handbook

Logging Banked Hours

You can only complete this once you have an approved DNP Previously Completed Hours Form approved by the Office of Field Experience. Once it has been approved, the Office of Field Experience will make this entry format available to you for a short amount of time. You will need to add the hours before you lose access to this entry format. 

  • Click on Experience. Click on New. Make sure to select "DNP Previously Completed Hours (Banked).”
  • Select today's date. Enter the hours that were approved. Select the DNP Coordinator name. Select Completed Verification of Precepted Graduate Hours. Select the associated immersion course. Type in a description of the activities of the previously approved hours. Click Save - "Continue editing this entry."
  • Click on the Document tab. Click Add Document. If it is greyed out, remember you need to save the entry before attaching a document.
  • It will open a pop-up. Type in file name. Chose file from your computer. Click Add Document.
  • Then click Submit.

You can only complete this once you have a Verification of Precepted Master’s Degree Hours Form approved by the DNP Program Director. Once it has been reviewed for completion, the DNP Program Director will provide you with instructions for claiming these hours during your DNP Program. You may begin using your banked hours (in daily increments of up to 12 hours) during your final immersion courses. To do so, you should make an experience entry as usual in ProjectConcert. In the "specify other" box along the bottom of the entry, you should write "previously-precepted hours." The hours are already approved in your ProjectConcert, though this step communicates to the faculty that you are using banked immersion hours.
