Admission Requirements

Application Requirements: Basic/traditional students

1. Application to the School of Nursing includes submission of the online application form and taking the Kaplan admission assessment test.
2. The applicant must be admitted to Indiana University Southeast as a degree seeking student prior to admission to the nursing major.
3. A student, who is enrolled in nursing course work at another university, must apply as a transfer student.
4. Completion of general education courses is required for admission.
5. Applicants must meet all minimal criteria, as published in the campus Bulletin, to be considered for admission. 
6. If a transfer course has been approved by the Admission, Progression, and Graduation committee (APG) to satisfy a requirement, the student must submit a copy of the letter from the APG approving the course.
7. Complete all required course work by the established deadline date.  This includes independent study/correspondence course work and courses for which students have received an incomplete (I).  Applications received after the deadline will be considered at the discretion of the faculty.
8. The APG committee considers and acts upon applications for admission to the baccalaureate nursing major. 
9. Knowledge and competencies developed in courses that fulfill the requirements for anatomy, physiology, and microbiology are considered time-limited.  If any of these courses were taken more than seven (7) years prior to admission to the nursing program, the course must be repeated or validated through testing. 

Admission to the RN to BSN classroom cohort or online nursing classes

1. Registered nurses seeking admission to the Indiana University Southeast School of Nursing must apply to the Office of Admissions at IU Southeast.  With exception of admission to the nursing cohort, all School of Nursing policies pertinent to the BSN program majors also apply to registered nurse undergraduate students.
2. To be eligible to take online nursing classes, the RN student must have graduated from an ACEN accredited school of nursing.
3. Admission to the Nursing cohort is not competitive.  RN students who have successfully completed general education requirements and maintain a 2.5 cumulative GPA and 2.7 nursing GPA are eligible to begin the nursing cohort.
4. The nursing admission GPA is calculated on all completed courses required for the BSN degree.  Grades earned in transfer courses accepted and applied to required general education credit hours will count in the calculation of the entry GPA.
