BSN Professional Major Application Process and Checklist

Application Process

• Contact your nursing advisor to obtain a BSN Professional Major Supplemental Application
  
• Complete the NursingCAS online application https://portal.nursingcas.org/.
  
  • General information regarding NursingCAS can be found at http://www.nursingcas.org.
  • Please view this quick tutorial about applying through NursingCAS (please note: BSN students do not need to complete professional experiences and references section).
  • Before you begin the online application obtain student copies of your college transcripts to assist you in completing the course work section for the application.
  • Read the NursingCAS Admission Code of Cooperation for applicant responsibilities.
  • Request official transcripts from each institution attended by using the transcript request form in NursingCAS. Complete the form and submit it to the registrar’s office of each institution attended and instruct them to enclose the form with your official sealed transcript. Transcripts must be sent to the NursingCAS Transcript Department. Nursing CAS accepts official transcripts directly sent from the registrar’s office ONLY. Please send transcripts as early as possible and no less than 4-6 weeks before the application deadline due to the time needed by NursingCAS to verify your application.
  • Please check with your nursing advisor to determine if the advisor requires official transcripts. A final transcript must be sent at the completion of in progress courses to the nursing advisor at the home university.
  • Pay the initial service fee of $45 when submitting the NursingCAS application.
