Dear Prospective BSN Student: 

Thank you for your interest in Troy University School of Nursing. In addition to the other information presented on our Web site, you may also find the following information helpful.

If you plan to enter Troy University as a freshman or transfer student and have not completed a Troy University application, you may submit the online application (Troy University Application) or obtain a printed copy by contacting: Admissions Office, Troy University, Troy, AL  36082; 334-670-3179 or 1-800-551-9716.

If you plan to transfer from another college or university to Troy University, please request that all schools you have attended forward official copies of your transcripts to the Troy University Admissions Office and then request a "BSN academic evaluation" from the Troy University Records Office. If you would like a copy of your evaluation mailed to you, please enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope and a note requesting a copy. The BSN evaluation will show those courses for which you have received transfer course credit and transfer elective credit, and which courses you still need to complete in order to earn a BSN Degree from Troy University.

If you have completed the required general studies for the BSN degree (or find that you will complete them before the term for which you would like to apply) and you believe that you will be eligible to enter the BSN Program (nursing classes and clinicals), then you should submit a complete application package in order to be considered for admission to the BSN Clinical Nursing Sequence. An application is available online (BSN Program Application) or if you prefer, you can request an application be mailed to you. To request an application by mail, please complete the application request form and submit electronically or copy and mail to the address given on the form. Applications are accepted beginning March 1 and must be received or postmarked by April 15 to be considered for the fall class. Applications are accepted beginning September 1 and must be received or postmarked by October 15 to be considered for the spring class.

A complete application package consists of: (1) completed BSN application form; (2) current BSN academic evaluation (which is completed in the Troy University Records Office at your request); (3) complete transcripts from all schools attended; and (4) a $20 application fee. You should request an updated BSN academic evaluation from the TROY Records Office at least three (3) weeks prior to the deadline for applications.  APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR ADMISSION TO THE CLINICAL SEQUENCE UNLESS THE WRITTEN APPLICATION, A CURRENT BSN ACADEMIC EVALUATION, ALL TRANSCRIPT(S), AND THE $20.00 APPLICATION FEE ARE SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THE APPLICATION DEADLINE.  You will be notified by the BSN Admissions Committee by mail as to your admission status not more than 6 weeks after the application deadline.

Troy University offers several types of financial assistance to students who qualify. Questions related to financial aid for any major should be directed to: Troy University Financial Aid, 134 Adams Administration Building, Troy University, AL  36082 (phone 334-670-3186).

We are happy that you are considering Troy University School of Nursing. Please feel free to contact me if you have further questions regarding the BSN Program.

Sincerely,

Bernita K. Hamilton, PhD, RN
Director, School of Nursing
