o 4. Furnish evidence of an official high school transcript showing evidence of graduation or an official General Education Development Equivalency certificate by January 10, 2008.

o 5. If you have college credits that apply toward the VN curriculum, you must furnish official transcripts of all-course work from colleges or universities by January 10, 2008. Biological Science courses, no more than ten years old, may be substituted for the Introduction to Human A&P course with approval. (See the department chairman).

o 6. After satisfactory completion of the above admission process, applicants will be notified by letter whether or not they were accepted into the program.

 Note: Admission to Temple College does not constitute automatic acceptance into the nursing program. Students seeking admission to the VN program are admitted to the program on the basis of the following criteria, with maximum point totals awarded as indicated:

• Pre-entrance scores (4 points)

• Completion of these two courses: (1 point)
  1. BIOL 2404 Intro To Human A&P
  2. ITSE 1294 Special Topics in Computer Science
  These two courses listed are not pre-requisite courses. If you do finish these courses by the end of the fall semester during the admission process you will receive one extra point on the admission criteria.

• Temple College service area residency status (1 point)

Point totals are then used to rank candidates into priority groupings of I, II, III. Admissions will be approved from within priority groups with all criteria taken into consideration, not point totals alone. Any applicant scoring below 41 on the NET-PN composite score, or ranking below priority grouping III, will not be considered for admission.

One point will be deducted from an applicant's point total if the applicant has failed any nursing course in another vocational nursing program.

Your application will not be processed if any of the stated admission requirements are missing or incomplete.
