Nursing Student Selection


Upon completion of the minimum requirements, an evaluation will be completed and the applicants will be notified by the Nursing Department regarding program consideration and selection. Students will be accepted into the earliest possible quarter they qualify for and should be aware that there are no deferments.

Admission to the Nursing program is based on competitive entry for a limited number of positions. Students are ranked by a 53-point system.

The factors that impact competitiveness are:
Science grade point average
Statistics show that a student's science GPA is directly linked to performance within the nursing program (maximum points possible: 24).

Courses completed
Students who have additional required courses completed earn more points toward selection than students with only the minimum requirements ( maximum points possible: 16).

Applicable grade point average
The applicable GPA is calculated using all required courses -- including the sciences (maximum points possible: 7).

Nursing assistant certification (NAC)
Students who submit their NAC credential number with their nursing application (Statement of Intent) by the application deadline will gain 4 points toward selection.

Washington residency
Students who have lived in the State of Washington for 12 months prior to application deadline will earn 2 points toward selection.
