Students will be selected on a competitive academic basis for the nursing openings which become available. A letter of intent stating the semester in which you wish to begin your studies should be placed on file in the nursing office.
a) A letter of good standing from your original School of Nursing, Dean or Director. The letter should include if they are eligible for return to enrollment in the school and an explanation of the nature of the problem for a grade lower than a C in a nursing theory or clinical course.
