Step Four:

The Division of Nursing will review the student’s admission and academic record.  Following the Division’s review, the prospective applicant will receive an e-mailed response to their Tri-C email address.   The response will either give the student information about taking the HESI Admission Assessment (A2) exam or decline the student’s admission request. Prospective nursing students, please be advised that for best consideration to enter a Fall 2019 nursing program, all admission requirements including the HESI A2 entrance exam must be completed by June 30, 2019.
