Prerequisites and Admission Criteria
* For admission, the Program GPA is calculated using the grades and credits earned in any completed ADN program course taken before admission. Courses that can be taken prior to admission include: BIOL 201, 202, 220, ENGL 101, HLTH 197, PSYCH 110, 145, SOCIO 110, and a fine art elective. Transfer and 香港最快开奖现场直播 credits are used in calculating the Program GPA.Note: If students have completed BIOL 201, 202, or 220, one must be within the last five years.
Application Process
The ADN Program follows the Health Profession听selective admissions process. Students use the online Pre-Advisement Plan on my香港最快开奖现场直播 to submit an application during the designated application period. Students must check their e-mail to verify completion of the application.
Basis of Ranking
Each spring and fall, a maximum of 24 students are conditionally admitted to the program. The following components are the basis of ranking:
- Program GPA (minimum 2.5)
- Biology 201, 202 and 220 grades (minimum C)
- Number of required program courses completed or ACT scores [minimum Reading (15), Math (15), English (15), Science Reasoning (20), Composite (21)] with the last three years
- Number of biology withdrawn (W) or repeated within the last five years
- Nursing readmission
The rubrics do not contain any identifying student characteristics besides the student ID number, allowing selection using non-discriminatory practices.
After the top ranked students are extended conditional admission, an alternate list of other qualified students is developed in the event that someone should cancel or not meet the conditional admission criteria. To remain eligible, alternates must continue to meet all eligibility requirements. Up to the day prior to the first ADN course, the alternates may be notified.
The ADN program does not maintain a waitlist. If not admitted, students must reapply to the program each year.
Notification of Conditional Admission
Admission is conditional. This means that students must meet certain criteria before starting the program. The criteria are as follows:
- Students must have a 鈥淐鈥 or better in all prerequisites and program courses and a 2.5 minimum Program G.P.A. All courses and the Program G.P.A. will be reassessed at the end of the semester in which the student applied to determine if the student is still eligible for the ADN Program
- Students must submit their acceptance letter by the deadline
- Students must have a primary healthcare provider complete the Health and Immunization Record Form and have updated immunizations and proof of CPR certification. The completed form should be submitted by the deadline
- Students must听complete a drug screen prior to beginning the program.
- Verify that the CNA is active and in “good standing,” meaning the background check is clear of disqualifying offenses (or a state-granted waiver is documented) and the student has maintained active certification.
- To ensure certification is active, a letter from a recent employer may be required.
- If currently enrolled in a nurse assistant training programs students must successfully pass the written competency exam before the program begins.
Students not meeting all of the above criteria forfeit their admission and the open position is filled from the alternate list.
