Nursing - BSN

Message from the BSN Program Coordinator

Dear Prospective BSN Student:

Thank you for your interest in Troy University School of Nursing. In addition to the other information enclosed, you may also find the following information helpful.

If you plan to enter Troy University as a freshman or transfer student and have not completed a Troy University application, you may submit the online application or obtain a printed copy by contacting: Admissions Office, Troy University, Troy, AL 36082; (334) 670-3179 or 1-800-551-9716.

If you plan to transfer from another college or university to Troy University, please request that all schools you have attended forward official copies of your transcripts to the Troy Admissions Office. Once admitted into Troy University, you may submit a written request for an academic evaluation to the Academic Evaluation Center, a division of the University Records Office, to the attention of Ms. Donna Bragg. Requests can be emailed to aec@troy.edu. Written requests must include copies of transcripts. These transcripts may be unofficial as long as the name of the institution appears in an official form on the document. Evaluations are processed in the order received and will take 3 to 6 weeks to complete. The academic evaluation will show those courses for which you have received credit and which courses you still need to complete in order to earn a BSN Degree from Troy University.

If you have completed the required prerequisite courses (or find that you will complete them before the term for which you would like to apply) and you believe that you will be eligible to enter the BSN Program (nursing classes and clinical), then you should submit a complete application package in order to be considered for admission to the professional BSN Nursing Sequence. Applications are accepted beginning February 1 and must be received or postmarked by March 15 to be considered for the fall class. Applications are accepted beginning August 1 and must be received or postmarked by September 15 to be considered for the spring class.

A complete application package consists of:

1. Completed BSN application form
2. Current undergraduate academic evaluation (which is completed by the Academic Evaluation Center at your request)
3. Complete transcripts from all schools attended
4. A $20 application fee. You should request an updated undergraduate academic evaluation from the Academic Evaluation Center at least three (3) weeks prior to the deadline for applications. APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR ADMISSION TO THE CLINICAL SEQUENCE UNLESS THE WRITTEN APPLICATION, A CURRENT UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC EVALUATION, OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT(S), AND THE $20.00 APPLICATION FEE ARE SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THE APPLICATION DEADLINE. You will be notified by the BSN Admissions Committee by mail as to your admission status within 4 to 6 weeks after the application deadline.

Troy University offers several types of financial assistance to students who qualify. Questions related to financial aid for any major should be directed to: Financial Aid Office, Troy University, Troy, AL 36082 / (334) 670-3186.

We are happy that you are considering Troy University School of Nursing. Please feel free to contact me if you have further questions regarding the BSN Program.

Sincerely,
BSN Program Coordinator
