Bachelor of Science Nursing

There are two (2) admission levels in the baccalaureate nursing program: pre-nursing and nursing.  Any regularly enrolled University of Guam student may apply for admission to the nursing program.  Application packets are available at the School's administrative office.  Upon receipt of all necessary documents, the Nursing Admission and Academic Standards Committee (AASC) reviews applications and notifies applicants by letter of their admittance to one of the two admission levels and gives them the name of their assigned advisor.

Admission levels to the BSN Program

   Pre-Nursing Level (PRNU)

Student has declared nursing as a major but not yet completed the pre-requisites to enroll in the first 200 level generic nursing course(s) or 300 level second-step nursing course(s).

   Nursing Level (NURS)

Student has completed the required pre- requisites with a "C or better" and enrolled in the first 200 level nursing course or 300 level second-step nursing course(s).

Generic BSN Track Requirements

The Nursing Admission and Academic Standards Committee (AASC) appoints a faculty advisor to all students admitted to the Generic and Second-Step nursing programs.  The advisor is named in the letter of acceptance.  Usually, that relationship continues until the student graduates, withdraws, or changes majors within the university.  After admission to either the pre-nursing or nursing program level, students  must meet with their advisor before they can register for future courses. They are encouraged to meet with their advisor on a regular basis throughout the semester.
