Applied Tech Practical Nursing Program Admissions Process
Please access the above link for the three steps of the admissions process.
High School Diploma or Equivalent
To be eligible to apply for our Practical Nursing Program a student must have achieved a high school diploma or equivalent from a valid institution.
The admission office will confirm all students’ transcripts arrive from a valid high school with the high school seal and/or signature. The admission office may investigate school documentation to confirm the school is recognized by the state department of education or home school association. The admission office may request a copy of the student’s diploma at any point in the admission process. If a diploma is determined invalid, a GED may be required for admission consideration. Student self-certification is not sufficient documentation and there is no appeal process if we are unable to validate your high school diploma.
Ability to benefit
We do not admit students under the Ability to Benefit criteria.
Transfer Credit
Transfer credit will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Contact the Admissions office at admissions@appliedtech.edu or via phone at 314.989.7585 to have documentation of prior coursework evaluated. Documentation must be submitted to the Applied Tech Admissions Office no later than 2 weeks prior to the paperwork cutoff date for a specific cohort.
Credit for coursework accomplished at Applied Tech is granted transferability at the discretion of the accepting institution. Consequently, students should confirm that attendance at Applied Tech meets their educational goals. This may include contacting a potential institution to which the student may seek to transfer after attending Applied Tech to determine if their coursework will transfer.
Background Screening
If there is a possibility of you having any findings on your criminal background check or Family Care Safety Registry, contact the admissions office at 314.989.7500 before beginning the admissions process.
