How to Apply

Admission to the nursing program is different than admission to the University of Northern Colorado; there are two separate applications required.

  1. Apply to the University Here. Select the Nursing-Exploring OR Nursing-Seeking 2nd Bachelor option. Use the code ‘甜心视频appnursing’ to waive the application fee. NOTE: Admission to 甜心视频app does not guarantee admission to the clinical nursing major. The clinical nursing major/degree program cannot be declared until you have applied and been admitted to the clinical nursing program (see Step 2).
  2. See below for admission schedule information. Click here to see the required pre-requisite courses.

It is strongly recommended that all applicants to the 甜心视频app BSN programs meet with a pre-nursing advisor to go over the clinical nursing program application checklist. To meet with an advisor, you must first be admitted to 甜心视频app and have a Bear number. You may still apply to the clinical nursing program without completing this step, but please note that if you are missing any items, your application will be rejected.

Transfer and Second Degree Applicants: As part of the admissions process, the 甜心视频app Registrar’s Office will create a Transfer Equivalency Report (TER). This report shows how courses from your current or previous college(s) transfer to 甜心视频app.

After you receive your TER, please contact us at nursing@unco.edu to request a second review of your nursing prerequisite courses through the Nursing Transfer Equivalency Form (NTEF).

Please note that this review process may take 10–15 business days and could take longer during busy times in the semester.

Once the review is complete, we will connect you with an advisor. Your advisor will help you:

  • Understand which prerequisite courses you still need to complete
  • Create a course plan
  • Answer your questions
  • Determine your timeline for completing the clinical nursing program application (Step 2 above)

Selection Process

We look at many things when deciding who gets into our program. Your GPA and HESI test scores indicate your academic performance. The Casper test and recommendation surveys tell us about your professional skills. These include how well you work with others, how you solve problems, and how you communicate. All of this comes together to make your 鈥渁dmission score.鈥�:

Admission GPA will be calculated using the most recent 45 credit hours of coursework and GPA from all completed nursing prerequisite courses.

The HESI score is generated by averaging the scores from the 4 test categories (required subcategories):

  • Reading Comprehension
  • Vocabulary and General Knowledge
  • Basic Math Skills
  • Anatomy and Physiology

There is no total or subcategory minimum score.

You may only submit one HESI score/transcript each calendar year.聽 You may submit HESI scores that are more than a year old.

Casper is a test that looks at soft skills. It measures 10 traits, including teamwork, communication, empathy, fairness, and problem-solving.

Casper uses a special format with video and written answers. This lets you give more honest, real-time responses. You can explain your thinking, share your values, and talk about your own experience

Each test is rated by multiple independent raters, with a different rater for each scenario. The final score is an average of all raters鈥� unique impressions, reflecting diverse perspectives on the applicant鈥檚 performance. This reduces bias.

You鈥檒l need to list two references鈥攐ne academic and one supervisory. Each will receive a short survey that asks about your strengths in areas like communication, teamwork, and adaptability, rated on a scale from 1 to 5. To get started, just enter their names and email addresses in NursingCAS.
