Acceptance Into the Program
Students are admitted for fall or spring semesters. Admission is competitive. Once the College of Nursing receives an application, a student's academic records are reviewed to determine eligibility for admission to the Professional Nursing Curriculum. Final decisions will be made after spring semester grades are available. If you are a UK student, you do not need to submit spring grades. If you are enrolled at another institution, you will need to submit spring grades. We will accept a grade report or unofficial transcript from your school’s student system until an official transcript is available.
Additional Requirements for Admitted Students
- Completion of a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) or State Registered Nurse Aide (SRNA) course
- Completion of a criminal background check
- Proof of current immunizations
- Verification of CPR/First Aid certification through the American Heart Association
Further details regarding these requirements are included in the student’s acceptance letter.
