Admission Requirements

All students transferring from other colleges or universities who plan to apply to the College of Nursing as an undergraduate student should apply to University of South Florida undergraduate admissions one semester early. For example: if you plan to begin either the upper division or accelerated program in the fall semester, please apply to USF for the previous summer. This allows all applicants to meet with a College of Nursing advisor before submitting their application, have their transcripts evaluated, and discuss the possibility of taking NUR 3125 (Pathophysiology) prior to admission.
