Admission and Selection Criteria
Admission to Associate Degree Nursing is competitive among qualified applicants according to established criteria. There is a limited application period and exact admissions evaluation criteria are revised and updated annually. All Associate Degree Nursing applicants are required to attend an annual Health Sciences information session in order to declare Associate Degree Nursing as a program of study. Health Sciences information session schedules are available in the Student Enrollment Center at 704.669.4081 or online at https://clevelandcc.edu/programs/how-to-apply/health-science/.
An admissions application will be used to determine acceptance to the Associate Degree Nursing program. Students not selected to the program may reapply for the next year. All applications for admission must be updated annually. If one has applied previously, he or she must initiate the process again, including the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) retesting.
CCC has established admissions and selection procedures to ensure students are admitted and selected in a consistent and equitable manner. The admissions application is only intended to provide students with a checklist assisting in identifying program eligibility requirements, while outlining the admissions/selection process. Completion of these requirements will not guarantee admission to the program.
The student is responsible for making sure that these requirements have been met and that all materials have been received by the Admissions Office. Admission requirements currently in effect must be completed.
Completion of these requirements will not guarantee admission to the program.
