UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN-FLINT Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program Application Packet Checklist for Accelerated Second Degree (Year-Round Cohort)

For fall 2018, complete applications will be accepted between the dates of Friday, December 1, 2017 and 5:00 pm Friday, January 12, 2018 Applications will not be accepted at any other time.

It is your responsibility to submit your packet complete with the following items to the School of Nursing prior to the deadline. Any applications submitted without all of the information below will be considered incomplete and will therefore not be reviewed by the School of Nursing Admissions Committee. Please use this checklist to make sure you are turning in a complete packet.

Please verify that you have completed the following requirements prior to submitting your application:

 You must have applied to the University of Michigan-Flint and have a complete application on file in the Undergraduate Admissions office which includes official transcripts.

 Official transcripts from each institution you have attended (with the exception of UM-Flint) must be submitted in an envelope sealed by that institution along with your nursing application. Transcripts that are submitted with the application will become the property of the School of Nursing and will not be returned to you. If you are a transfer student, we understand that official transcripts were submitted to Undergraduate Admissions when you transferred; however, transcripts must also be submitted with your nursing application. If additional coursework has been taken at any institution since initial admission to the University, it will be your responsibility to submit an updated copy of your official transcript to the University of Michigan-Flint Undergraduate Admissions office to obtain an updated transfer evaluation. Do not forward transcripts ahead of your application. Transcripts must be in a sealed envelope from the institution attended and included with your application packet. Some institutions will send only unofficial transcripts to students; these are acceptable, as long as they are in a sealed envelope from the registrar. Please note: This may take some time. Please plan accordingly.

 Required prerequisites:

Please note: . FOUR prerequisites (at least two must be science courses) must be completed by the deadline date to apply to the Nursing program. The remaining prerequisite courses must be completed winter, spring and/or summer 2018 since all prerequisites must be completed before beginning the Nursing core curriculum in fall. . A minimum grade of C+ is required for prerequisite courses. The exception is chemistry; a grade of C is acceptable in chemistry. . Biology credits must be no more than seven years old (BIO 135, 167, 168). A competency exam may be taken through the School of Nursing if completed more than seven years ago. Cost is $80.00/exam (A&P and Microbiology). . CHM 252 is not required for students admitted to the nursing program fall 2018 or after. Students are required to complete a 3-4 credit chemistry course with a lab. The course can be any chemistry course as long as chemistry is in the title and the course has an associated lab. If a student has completed multiple chemistry courses, the School of Nursing will use the highest chemistry grade for the nursing application.

 Two professional references are required, but no more than three. Please see page 2 for specific requirements. Your letters must be in sealed envelopes with your reference’s signature across the back (forms attached). At least one reference must be from a faculty member/instructor.

 A copy of your winter and/or spring and/or summer class schedule (if applicable)

 Completed Clinical Student Disclosure Statement (page 7)

 Completion of essay requirement

 An English language proficiency exam is required for ALL non U.S. citizens, non-native English speaking applicants, and those not born in the U.S. even if you are a permanent resident and regardless of enrollment in an English educational system. Students are allowed to complete TOEFL (must be internet based), MELAB or IELTS. TOEFL is offered through the University of Michigan-Flint – http://www.umflint.edu/international/elp/testing

 Signed application (page 9) 1 ESSENTIAL INFORMATION We highly recommend that you attend nursing information meetings for answers to all your program and admission questions. Please see the School of Nursing website for a schedule of information meetings – http://umflint.edu/nursing

 Applicants must have applied to the University of Michigan-Flint and have a complete application on file in the Undergraduate Admissions office which includes official transcripts. You may apply online at https://www.umflint.edu/admissions/. You will apply as a transfer student with pre-nursing as your major even though you have a previous degree.

 GRADE POINT: A minimum college grade point average of a 2.75 is required in both your cumulative prerequisite GPA and your last 30 credits to be considered for selection. A minimum C+ (2.3) is required in all prerequisite courses with the exception of chemistry for which a minimum C (2.0) is required. Having the minimum GPA does not guarantee admission. Admission is competitive within the current pool of applicants. Due to the number of qualified applicants within an applicant pool, it is likely that the prerequisite GPA and overall GPA of accepted students may be well above minimum requirements. The School of Nursing may find it necessary to deny admission to a qualified applicant due to enrollment limits.

 REFERENCES: A minimum of two references is required, but no more than three. Forms are included in this application packet. One must be from one of your college or university instructors; the other should be from someone who is in a supervisory role at your place of employment. If this is not possible, a second university professor may be used. Personal references are not accepted.

 PATHOPHYSIOLOGY (NSC 207): If you are enrolled in Pathophysiology (NSC 207) in the winter 2018 semester, your midterm grade will be considered for this application process. Grades for students enrolled at UM-Flint will automatically be reviewed. If you are completing a NSC 207 equivalent course in winter 2018 at another institution, please submit official documentation of your midterm grade by Friday, March 2, 2018 via email to Vickie Jaskiewicz, Nursing Advisor, at [email protected]. Official documentation is either an email from your professor sent directly to Vickie or a screenshot of your current grade in Blackboard or other online teaching tool. The screenshot or email must contain your name and current grade.

 REAPPLICATION: The School of Nursing does not keep a waitlist. If you reapply for admission, a new application packet will need to be signed and submitted to the School of Nursing. Updated transcripts are required only if you have completed additional courses at an institution other than the University of Michigan-Flint since your previous application. You may use references from a previous application. The School of Nursing will hold previous applications for one year. If you do not reapply within that timeframe, your information will be destroyed. If you plan to use transcripts or reference forms from a previous application, please note this on page 4 of your application.

 TUITION: Once admitted to the Nursing program, students follow a fee schedule that is specific to nursing students. This differential is applied to all classes, not just nursing classes. The curriculum is based on a full-time load of fall and winter courses. Nursing tuition is undergraduate–generic nursing- http://www.umflint.edu/tuition#accordion- undergraduate-nursing-tuition.

 EXPENSES/REQUIREMENTS: Once admitted to the Nursing program, you will need to purchase uniforms, equipment, ID badges, and professional textbooks. Expenses will also be incurred for assessment testing and health form requirements throughout the program. Physical examination, immunizations, toxicology testing, HEALTH INSURANCE, and CPR training are required at your expense, and students will NOT BE ALLOWED TO REGISTER FOR THE CLINICAL PROGRAM UNTIL THESE ARE VERIFIED. Please see page 14 for expenses related to beginning the nursing program.

 CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK: A Clinical Student Disclosure Statement must be submitted with the application. Failure to disclose a criminal conviction that has not been expunged or dismissed may be grounds for denial from the nursing program. If you choose not to disclose a conviction, even if it has been expunged or discharged from your record and your background check is returned with a conviction listed, your admission may be delayed or denied. Admission is contingent on successful completion of a Criminal Background Check. This is done after admission to the program. There will be a fee for this service.

Note: Felony conviction or charges and/or a history of substance abuse may exclude you from clinical placements and/or being eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). This means you might not be able to complete all of the required clinical placements and/or would not be eligible for a license to practice as a registered nurse.
