ADN applicants will be notified of their admission status in April. Letters of acceptance will be sent to the applicants who ranked highest. Those next in ranking will be placed on the alternate list, and will receive a letter explaining this. Letters of nonacceptance will be sent to those who will not be placed in the class this year. Students accepted into the nursing program must return an Intent to Enroll card to maintain a place in the class. As space becomes available, students on the alternate list may receive an acceptance letter. Applicants who are not placed in the class will have to reapply the following year. No waiting list will be kept.
