Semester 3 Admission Requirements


The Undergraduate Admissions Team will be hosting Nursing Information Sessions for prospective applicants with previous postsecondary experience.Ìý

Full details can be found here:Ìý

During the session, students will:

  • Learn about the Nursing program, admission requirements, and key deadlines
  • Receive guidance on the application process for applicants with previous postsecondary experience
  • Have the opportunity to ask questions and connect with HÂþ»­ Admissions representatives

Sessions are offered weekly with in-person and virtual options available.

We require all prospective Nursing applicants with previous postsecondary experience to attend one of the information sessions rather than scheduling an individual advising appointment with an admission team member.

This two-calendar-year (six-semester) continuous period of study is designed for students who have previously studied at university and have completed the following pre-requisite courses:

i. Subject requirements:

  • Anatomy (ANAT) 1010 or equivalent-3 credit hoursÌý
  • Physiology (PHYL) 1001 and 1002 or 1011 and 1012 (or PHYL 1001 + Biological Science) -6 credit hours
  • Statistics (STAT) 1060 or equivalent-3 credit hours
  • Microbiology (MICI) 1100 or equivalent-3 credit hours
  • English (ASSC) 1700 or equivalent writing course-3 credit hours
  • Science elective-3 credit hours
  • Open electives*-9 credit hours

*Nursing courses cannot be used to fulfill the open electives pre-requisite requirement.

ii. A minimum grade of CÌýin each of Anatomy, Physiology (6 CR or 3 CR + Biological Science 3 CR), Statistics, and English is required. A minimum grade of C in each of the open electives and science elective is required.

iii. A student with a .03 credit hour combined Anatomy and Physiology course will also be required to have .06 additional credit hours of Biological Sciences

iv. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 based on overall post-secondary career or most recent year of studies (30 credit hours)

v. Meeting the minimum entrance GPA does not guarantee admission. As a result of the competitive admission process, applicants typically require a higher entrance GPA than the minimums listed in the admission requirements.

Students study through the fall, winter, and spring/summer semesters, graduating in the fall of the second year.

Applicants should consider whether financial, work and family responsibilites will allow for study full time, year round.
