Applying to the Nursing Program
- All prerequisite courses must be completed prior to selection. There is a 7 year limit on all science/social science courses at the time of program entry.
- For the purposes of assigning points, courses may be repeated only one time. If the course is repeated, the grade earned in the second attempt will be used to calculate points. This includes courses with a grade below 2.0.
In the case of an incomplete grade or grade change, it is the student’s responsibility to update their records.
Deadlines
All applications must be postmarked by October 1st for possible selection into the following Spring and Fall classes,
or April 1st for possible selection into the following Winter class.
