Advanced Placement to the Associate Degree Nursing Program

Sections:

The Associate Degree Nursing program provides opportunities for applicants to be advanced placed in the nursing program. Advanced placement means being accepted later than the first nursing course in the nursing program plan of study.

Applicants for this program include Licensed Practical Nurses, COD ADN program readmission students, and transfer students. Admission as an advanced placement student requires completing the application process. Other considerations for acceptance include seat availability and application rank score.

Specific questions about the application and admission to the program(s) can be directed to the Health Programs Admissions Advisor (630) 942-2259 or the Health Programs Admissions Specialist (630) 942-2482. However, it is strongly recommended that you attend the program advising session as a first step.

For more information about the ADN program, including the Student Handbook, please go to the Associate Degree Nursing program page. As a reminder, there is information for all Nursing Department program inquiries and students on the Nursing Department page.
