Nursing Health Science Application Q&A Re: Transcripts

From Maureen Mirowski:

I asked after the nursing info session this week re: the transcripts question.  See Brenda Knopp’s (Nursing Program Chair) answers below. Note she says ‘I think’ on the first one. I think I’ll stick with just send the officials again! 

Two things:  

1.  Regarding international transcripts from WES, ECE or JSA:

They should keep a copy for themselves. I think as long as they send a copy and it is already in the system it will be fine. 

2.  **If you have had your OFFICIAL transcript from another college evaluated within the last year AND have not taken any more classes at that facility you do not need to submit OFFICIAL transcripts. However, you are asked to submit unofficial transcripts.

**If your transcripts were evaluated OVER one year of the deadline for the application you need to submit your OFFICIAL transcript as part of the application.

Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) Update

Anniet Glenn, in her PTA info session Monday of this week indicated:

For this application deadline of March 1 2024 only, there is now ‘wiggle room’ for one of the 24-26 seats: 

Students who are in progress of courses listed should still apply if interested.

As the program starts in the Fall, there is time to wait until mid-May to see grades.

And therefore, still be accepted.

Of course, having BIOL 213 done is ideal as it is the core science piece on TEAS.

For this program, BIOL 150 is a minimum course, and BIOL 212 is priority. Noting:  BIOL 213 is not a requirement.

All we can say is ‘go for it’, if students want to take TEAS with less preparation nor being done with BIOLs.
