RN-BSN Admission Requirements

 
 
 

The application process for admission to CCU's RN-BSN program is competitive. Each applicant is assigned an enrollment counselor to assist with the process. Once enrolled in the College of Adult and Graduate Studies, the Student Services Advisor assists the student in the admission and progression process. The applicant must meet specific requirements at each step of the admission process in order to progress and be admitted to the program.

Students enter the RN-BSN Completion Program option at multiple points in the academic year. Applications are processed and evaluated two times annually:

  • May 5 –  for fall admission
  • October 15 – for spring admission

Completed applications must be received at least one month prior to the next start date. Class size is limited, so we encourage all applicants to begin the process as soon as possible. To be considered for admission, students must have:

  • A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale
  • Completed an associate degree in nursing or diploma in nursing from an accredited institution
  • Proof of active unencumbered RN licensure (USA)
  • Verification of Work form (PDF)

Admission Application

The first step in the admission process is to submit your online application for admission to CCU’s College of Adult and Graduate Studies (CAGS). Submit proof of identity and all official college transcripts for CAGS admission. Once your application is complete and you are admitted to CAGS, submit documents for RN-BSN program admission to:
