9. Submit all other paperwork, including AP scores, CLEP scores, external transcripts, patient contact documentation forms, and copies of licenses and certificates, to the Office of Selective Admissions, by the application deadline.
   
• Admissions decisions are generally made within 6 weeks of the application deadline and status letters will be mailed to all applicants at that time.
  
• All nursing program acceptances are provisional, contingent upon successful completion of a dosage course, CPR certification at the healthcare provider level, submission of proof of current health insurance, and completion of a physical examination form that includes serum titers or vaccinations for communicable diseases.
  
• If the applicant is not accepted, he or she may submit a new application for the next application cycle. Applications are not automatically rolled over to the next semester. TEAS results do not have to be repeated, at the discretion of the applicant. Application folders are retained for one year and any paperwork in the applicant folder will not have to be resubmitted during that time frame.
