ABSN ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS 1. What if I do not have a 3.2 cumulative grade point average?
A minimum 3.2 cumulative grade point average is required to be eligible for admission. Prerequisite course work is also factored into this average. Therefore, you if your average is slightly below a 3.2 before prerequisites are completed; you can potentially raise it to the minimum by doing well in all prerequisite course work. 2. Can I still apply if I haven’t completed all the prerequisites courses? ABSN applicants must have all prerequisite courses completed at the time of application. Applications submitted without all course work completed will not be reviewed. 3. What if I have taken the science courses more than 5 years ago? It is a requirement that all science courses are completed within 5 years of entering the school of nursing. These courses are important and serve as foundation courses for the information you will receive in the program. Exceptions can be granted but they are rare. In the past exceptions have been granted for the following reasons: • PhD or advanced degree
