Admission Checklist

Students seeking admission to the nursing major must meet the following criteria:

  1. Be admitted to Indiana University as a degree-seeking student. Apply Now if you haven't yet done so.
  2. Maintain a minimum Indiana University cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.7 on a 4.0 scale. Does not include transfer or FX courses.
  3. Complete general education courses required for admission on the campus to which the student applies. (Note: Each applicant must have completed finite mathematics (MATH 118) or its equivalent with a grade of C (2.0) or higher.)
  4. Minimum pre-nursing admission grade point average (GPA) of 2.7 on a 4.0 scale for all completed course work required for admission. The nursing grade point average 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 admission GPA. FX'd grades will not be counted.
  5. Designate which courses will meet the cluster requirements where course choice is an option. Courses designated for the nursing major may be repeated only one time. Students must successfully complete all courses for the degree with a grade of C (2.0) or better by the second completed attempt.
  6. Complete all required course work by established deadline date. This includes independent studies, correspondence course work, and courses for which students have received an incomplete (I). Students wishing to transfer required course work from a university other than Indiana University must be in good academic standing in that university and have achieved a grade of C (2.0) or higher in courses for which transfer is being requested.

  7. Repeat no more than three required cluster courses required for BSN degree. Of the three courses, only two failures will be allowed in science course work. (One science course and corresponding lab are considered one course.) A student must achieve a grade of C (2.0) or higher in all program requirements. This criterion also applies to any student wishing to transfer required cluster courses from a university other than Indiana University.
  8. Submit official transcripts to the university undergraduate admissions office, for all work being transferred from a university other than Indiana University.
  9. Complete a IUSON Student Disclosure Form and deliver it to NU 122, Center for Academic Affairs by application deadline date. Forms must be postmarked or brought into NU 122 by the application deadline to remain eligible for that admission cycle.
  10. Submit program application by published due date. Applications received after the published deadline will be considered at the direction of the faculty. Students may reapply to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program in a subsequent semester if they maintain eligibility.
  11. Attention IU Bloomington students: If you are ranking Indianapolis as one of your admission choices, please complete a Permanent Intercampus Transfer form along with your admission application at: www.enroll.iupui.edu/ict

NOTE: It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that coursework completed at other colleges or universities has been officially evaluated by the Office of Admissions so that all transfer credit has been posted to the Indiana University transcript. Submitting inaccurate and false information or withholding information may result in denial of admission to the Indiana University School of Nursing or dismissal from the nursing program if admitted.
