College of Nursing

• GPA 2.5 for last 60 Hours. Calculation of GPA for the last 60 hours will occur as follows:
  • The grades used to calculate the 60 hours GPA will be the most recent, and exactly 60 hours will be included in the calculation. If a partial semester must be utilized, the course with the highest grade will be chosen, and the number of hours needed will be multiplied by the grade. For example, if 2 hours are needed to complete the 60, and the applicant has a 3 hour course in which they earned an A, 8 points will be added (2 x 4 = 8).
  • If an applicant re-took a course, the higher grade will be used in the calculation; the lower grade will not count in the calculation at all.
  • Plus and minus grades will be considered as standard A, B, C, etc. For example, an A+ and an A- will both be assigned 4 quality points per credit hour.
• Current unencumbered RN licensure in state of residence
• If you are not a U.S. citizen, an international application must be completed and submitted with the BSN application.
  • All international transcripts must be evaluated by an accredited evaluating agency found at the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services' website: naces.org
