Attendance at one of the two scheduled preadmission conferences is mandatory. A preadmission form which indicates intent to enroll in the nursing program will be completed at the conference.
Each applicant will be evaluated on the objective scale. Students in categories I - IV will be eligible to be considered for admission according to the listed categories. Students will be admitted by category with category I applicants being given higher priority before category II applicants, etc. If there are more students in a specific category than there are openings in the nursing program, then those students will be ranked according to criteria to be determined by the Admission Committee.
The GPA will be computed only from course work required in the ADN curriculum. If a student has earned 12 or more hours of college credit, only college work will be considered when determining category placement.
Students wishing to transfer science credits from other colleges must submit a college catalog course description and course syllabi for consideration. Course work in the sciences must have been taken within the last seven years to be considered.
Grades must be earned by the July 1 deadline for application to the spring (January - May) semester. Grades must be earned by the March 1 deadline for application to the fall (August - December) semester.
In the calculation of GPA a student may repeat a general education required course one time. Grades earned in any additional repeats of the course will not be used in the calculation of GPA. The highest grade of the first two attempts will be used.
All high school GPA's will be evaluated based on the Law School Data Assembly Service and conversion scale.
