Enrollment in nursing courses as a Special requires a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50 or higher AND enrollment in the final year of an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) program or an undergraduate nursing diploma. In addition, Nursing Specials must submit unofficial or official transcripts from all previous institutions attended for evaluation.

Note:

• If you intend to seek admission to the �鶹ֱ�� Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN) program in the future, we advise Specials to submit official transcripts as they will be required for admission to the BSN program.
• Transfer credit from previous colleges attended must be accredited by a regional or national accrediting organization recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation ().

Nursing Course Options – Nursing Specials are eligible to enroll in any nursing courses except the Capstone. There is no limit on the number of courses you can take as a Special; but please note that Specials are not eligible for financial aid.
