When Walden changes something that costs you
Walden revises its restricted-state list, its Pledge terms, its tuition and its credit requirements without announcing any of it. We read those documents anyway. When something moves that would change a decision, we write it down.
What actually arrives
Once a month at most, and nothing at all in a month where nothing changed. We would rather send eleven notes a year than manufacture a twelfth.
Restricted-state changes
The list of states where Walden will not approve a practicum does move. If yours is added or removed, that is the first line of the note.
Pledge and practicum terms
Eligibility, mileage, covered specialisations. The conditions are the product, so when they change the advice changes with them.
Tuition and credit requirements
Per-credit rates, programme lengths and transfer ceilings — with the arithmetic redone, not just the new number quoted.
What we got wrong
When we correct something on this site, the correction goes in the note too, with what changed and why.
Why this exists
Because the documents that decide these questions are not written to be read by prospective students, and they change quietly. A nurse who checked the restricted-state list in March and enrolled in September may have relied on an answer that had already moved.
We are reading them regardless, for the nurses we work with. Sending the summary costs us nothing and occasionally saves someone a year.
