Admission as a Transfer Student to the A.A.S. in Nursing
To be considered for admission to the AAS in Nursing, the applicant must:
1. Have a letter of admission to LU
2. Have successfully completed with at least a grade of “C” or have transfer credit for:
BIO 103/104 – (Principles of Biology and a Lab) – 4 credit hrs.
PSY 101 – (General Psychology) – 3 credit hrs.
ENG 101 – (English Comp. & Rhetoric I) – 3 credit hrs.
GE 101 – (University Seminar) – 1 credit hr.
3. Have scored at least 65 on the NET entrance exam
4. Submit 3 letters of reference using departmental forms
1) One letter of reference must be from a work supervisor, if employed in the past year.
2) If a graduate from an LPN Program in the past 5 years, provide a reference from an LPN instructor.
3) Transfer students from other nursing programs need at least 1 letter from an instructor
5. Complete a departmental application
6. GPA of at least 2.0 (be in good academic and non-academic standing).
After the above criteria are met, the admissions committee will review the applicant’s admission criteria and file for acceptability. Upon acceptance by the admissions committee, a random selection process is used to place qualified applicants on a waiting list for the next available space in the nursing program. All applicants are notified in writing of their acceptance or rejection and placed on the waiting list if accepted.
If the application process is not completed by the deadline, new information will have to be submitted to be considered for the next admission process..
Student transcripts must reflect passage of required courses with a C or above on the first or second attempt within the last 5 years to be admitted. Transcripts reflecting a passing grade of C or above on the third attempt within a 5 year period will be an automatic disqualifier for admission.
Transfer credit from other colleges and universities will be evaluated on an individual basis for equivalency to current program requirements. Only courses with a grade of "C" or better will be considered. Students may receive first year nursing credits by direct transfer or credit by exam.
Required courses in the social and biological sciences form the basis for making nursing judgments. The nursing faculty, therefore, reserve the right to require students to retake these courses when credit was earned several years prior to enrollment in the ADNP. |
