Admissions

LSUHSC School of Nursing uses a self-managed application procedure which places control over the process with the applicant. The applicant submits the application form and all official transcripts unopened as received from the Office of the Registrar at each of the colleges and universities attended. Official transcripts must be submitted from each school where the credits were earned in envelopes, which are sealed and signed by the Registrar. Note that it may take up to 4 weeks to receive the transcripts. The applicant should plan the application period allowing sufficient time to meet the deadlines. Application forms are available online at the School of Nursing Website at http://nursing.lsuhsc.edu, click on prospective student and the program of interest.

Acceptance Deposit

Applicants who have been notified of acceptance for admission are expected to submit a confirmation letter of acceptance with a deposit within the time period specified. This deposit indicates the desire of the applicant to accept the place offered and serves as confirmation that the place will be available as specified. This deposit is credited toward payment of fees, which are due at the time of registration. Failure to make the required deposit within the specified period may be considered as reason to void acceptance of the application. The acceptance deposit is only refundable if the student is unable to complete registration for reasons beyond the student’s control or extenuating circumstances.
