Graduate Student Membership Guidelines

Rho Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau welcomes applications for membership from students who have demonstrated the qualities of scholarship, leadership and service, integrity, and commitment to nursing. Applications for membership are usually extended by Rho Chapter in September to graduate students. Students who have met the criteria below are welcome to request a membership application by contacting the Rho Chapter Faculty Counselor. See “About Sigma Theta Tau” link at left for Faculty Counselor name and contact information.
The criteria for membership for masters and doctoral students are:

1. Completion of 1/4 of the required graduate curriculum
2. GPA of 6.5 or higher for masters students; 7.0 or higher for doctoral students (using the Rackham scale)
3.  Academic integrity and professional goals

Graduate students will be contacted about membership through an email from the Rho Chapter Faculty Counselor in the Fall term. Students must reply to indicate interest and provide approval for release of information to Sigma Theta Tau International. STTI will then contact the student and request completion of an online application.

The ceremony for induction into membership is usually held in late October or early November. This ceremony is a wonderful event for inductees, their families and friends, and members of Rho chapter who are welcoming our new members.
