I'm interested in the Nursing Program at Scottsdale Community College and want to know more about the application process. Are there any prerequisites or important deadlines I should be aware of to make sure my application is complete?
To apply for the Nursing Program at Scottsdale Community College (SCC), you must follow several steps to ensure that your application is complete. Firstly, you must be admitted to Scottsdale Community College. After you apply for admission to the college, you will receive a Maricopa Enterprise ID (MEID) and an official student email address which you will use to apply for the Nursing Program.
Before applying to the Nursing Program, you should make sure that you have completed the necessary prerequired courses including Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, Chemistry, and Math. Specific grades are required for these classes, and not having them could prevent you from being admitted.
Thereafter, you will need to take and pass the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) Exam. The results of this exam are a significant factor in the selection process for the Nursing Program.
As for the application itself, take note of the following key components:
1. Submit a complete Nursing Program Application through the Online Admissions Application System.
2. Include official transcripts for course pre-requisites and previous course college credits.
3. Submit your TEAS test scores.
The Scottsdale Community College Nursing Program uses a selective admissions process, so make sure your application showcases your academic strengths and commitment to the nursing field.
Be aware of the fact that one of the key requirements for entering the nursing program is a Department of Public Safety Level One Fingerprint Clearance Card. If you haven't already obtained one, you should start the process as it can take some time.
In terms of deadlines, the Scottsdale Community College website will have the most accurate information, but typically, you'll find that the deadline to apply for the Fall semester is in early Spring, and if you're applying for Spring admission, the deadline would be in early Fall. It is advisable to verify these dates on the official website or get in touch with the Nursing Department directly.
