titleStep 8: Save the Date for the White Coat Ceremony

The Fall 2024 DNP White Coat Ceremony date is TBD. We are planning for a date within the first two weeks of September 2024. 

The DNP White Coat Ceremony is being sponsored by Tampa General Hospital (TGH) for all new DNP students! They are sponsoring the cost of new DNP student's white coat!  Since this is a sponsored event, in order to receive your white coat, you must be in attendance. We cannot hold, mail or distribute any coats outside of the ceremony. Now is a great time to visit the USF Bookstore to figure out your size. Doctoral coats come in UNISEX sizing.


A lab coat will be required for all labs and clinicals. Please DO NOT purchase/wear scrubs. If you are unable to attend the White Coat Ceremony, you will need to purchase a coat from the USF Bookstore. Please refer to the information below:

  • Do not include any specific embroidery/name on your lab coat
  • Students who previously completed their BSN with USF must purchase a new lab coat for the graduate program
  • Sizing: Unisex
  • The lengths of the coats are included on the order form. DNP/Doctoral should fall to your knees. Depending on your height, you may need to adjust the type of coat you get accordingly.

titleStep 12: Set up your USF E-mail Signature

Every graduate student will be assigned a university email address. To ensure email communication remains private and secure it is recommended that all students use their university-issued email address for university communications. 

When sending emails you should always include your full name, unumber, and program with concentration. We recommend setting up an email signature within your student email account so this information is always included. Your email should appear as follows: 

John Doe

MSN-FNP (or appropriate concentration)

Please click here if you need instructions on setting up your email signature. 

A few things to note:

  • Your unumber will be requested to look up any student information. You may include this in the body of your email. 
  • Do not include your unumber on any outside emails
  • Do not provide your unumber to anyone outside of USF without proper authorization. 
  • Do not include your number in the subject heading or any outside email.
