How to Get Started

1. Review admissions requirements.
2. Complete online application and submit non-refundable application fee online.
   • You will be required to provide your nursing license number on the application.
   • Please have your academic outreach partner code available.
   • If you are listing a former name on your application, include it in the designated space for former name.
3. Submit official documents.
   • Request official copies of transcripts from all colleges or universities that you have attended since high school. There are two ways to meet this standard:
     1. Have the institutions send the transcripts directly to Ohio University
     2. You do not have to provide any transcripts for any courses you have taken at Ohio University.
   • Transcripts should include verification that you are a graduate of a State Board of Nursing-approved associate degree or diploma program in nursing.
   • Send transcripts to:

     Undergraduate Admissions
     ATTN: eLearning OHIO
     Haning Hall 102
     1 Ohio University
     Athens, OH 45701

   • Under Ohio Board of Regents requirements, students that transfer from one institution to another must provide an official copy of all attempted college-level coursework. This includes coursework that was not applied toward an earned degree or a specific curriculum. Ohio University strictly adheres to all Ohio Board of Regents policies.
4. Apply for financial aid.
5. Receive Communication from Ohio University.
   • After reviewing your application, Ohio will send notification of our admission decision to you via email.
   • The School of Nursing will review your previous coursework and will provide you a course map that lists which courses to take to expeditiously complete your BSN.
6. Visit the RN-to-BSN Student Knowledge Center.
   • Nursing students will find links for the items they need most often, such as how to register, course offerings and their e-account, at the RN-to-BSN Student Knowledge Center.
