Admission Requirements

• Submission of a completed application
• $25 application fee

• Provide proof of current, unencumbered RN licensure (USA). License must be active for the duration of the student's enrollment.

If a candidate's GPA is below 2.75, the student may be admitted on a conditional basis, on the recommendation of the Undergraduate Admissions Committee, based on criteria set by the Dean of the RN to BSN Nursing Program. Students who are admitted with conditional status must meet certain conditions during their first semester at SWU in order to be permitted to continue in the RN to BSN Nursing Program.
