Program Admission Notes:

To qualify for admission, applicants with at least 24 transferable hours must have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale from all post-secondary coursework.

This is a suggested guide. Following the guide does not guarantee admission to UNCG or guarantee an AA or BSN degree will be conferred. Students should seek academic advising to determine the best course of study to meet educational goals and degree requirements. Refer to UNCG’s admissions website for more information on admission and transfer of credits. Credit will only be awarded for transferable courses for which a grade of C or better is earned. Refer to the NC Transfer Course List for full listing of courses by designation – UGETC, CAA GEN ED, Pre-Major/Elective.  Note: Please speak to an advisor if you have an Associate Degree in Nursing.  You need to follow the RN-to-BSN Plan of Study rather than this BDP.   Students must be formally admitted to the School of Nursing which is an upper division major. Only students who have formal, written acceptance into the School will be permitted to register in nursing courses and complete work for the major. Admission should normally be sought during the sophomore year. The application deadline is February 1 of each year. Applications are obtained from the Advising Center in the School of Nursing. Transcripts from all post-secondary schools attended must be submitted with the application.
