Admissions

Please note that the criteria listed below are the minimum requirements for consolidation. There is no guarantee of admission to any of these programs based solely upon meeting the minimum standard.

• Selection for admissions is based on a point system. Students with the highest points will be admitted first until all seats are filled.
• All qualifying prerequisites and supporting prerequisites must be completed with a grade of C or higher to be considered for admission.
• In the event of a point tie, the student's actual TEAS score percentage will be reviewed first, then the overall GPA will be reviewed second as the tiebreaker (whichever is higher).
• Petition application deadlines: February 1 for fall and August 1 for spring (TEAS must be completed by the deadline).
• You must meet with a Health Sciences advisor by appointment in Navigate to go over the Nursing Point System.
