Currently, students are admitted to freshman nursing classes in the fall semester. Since the ADN program usually has more applicants than positions available, admission is competitive. Students who meet the minimum criteria are eligible to submit an application for admission to the ADN program. An application for admission and a completed health statement form must be submitted to the nursing department in order to be considered for a specific class. The application deadline is March 31 for the class starting in August.
Selection is based on the following system.
There is a maximum of 136 quality points possible. The better of the two scores will be used for ranking. In the event that applicants have identical ranking scores and seats are not available for all, priority will be given to the highest cumulative grade point average in all college course work, including transfer work and excluding developmental courses. In the event that all previously stated criteria are equal, the final tie-breaker will be the date application is received in the nursing department. Students not admitted must reapply to be considered for another year.
