Course Overview
A student seeking admission who has prior enrollment in another nursing program will only be considered for admission if the student has a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.8 in nursing courses and has been enrolled in a nursing program within one year of anticipated enrollment in nursing at Avila University. Students will not be considered for admission if they have received a grade of “D,” “F,” or “W/F” (withdraw/failing) in any previous nursing program. Upper-division coursework must be taken at accredited (regional and professional) four-year universities.
A student seeking an exception to nursing admission criteria must submit a letter of petition to the coordinator of the School of Nursing Admissions Committee.
