Admissions

Non-matriculated Students: For the Summer 2008 Semester, classes begin May 5 and end August 15, 2008.

Admission to the College of Nursing is competitive. In selecting students, the Admissions Committee considers previous academic performance, letters of recommendation and a personal statement of professional experience and goals.

Prospective students are strongly encouraged to begin the application process one year in advance of matriculation and to seek preadmission advisement. You may apply to a program while working to fulfill the admissions requirements. However, all admissions requirements must be completed before matriculation.

The admissions committee considers only those who have submitted complete applications.

It is your responsibility to determine if your application is complete by contacting:
Office of Student Admissions at 315 464-4570

Although New York state residents are given preference, out-of-state applicants are welcome and admitted each year.

Preadmission Advisement

We recommend you seek preadmission advisement 10 to 12 months prior to the date of your anticipated matriculation. In this session, an admissions counselor provides guidance and assistance in meeting the admission requirements. Appointments for preadmission advisement may be made by calling the Office of Student Admissions at 315-464-4570. Please bring to your appointment photocopies of academic records, including nursing school transcripts, transcripts from all other colleges or universities attended, and semester grade reports. Applicants who are unable to travel to the College of Nursing for an advisement session should mail a cover letter and copies of academic records to:
