This scale is designed to objectively evaluate applicants for the Associate Degree Nursing Program. Admission is based on this structured point system. Admission is limited to available seats. Applicants with the highest total points will be admitted to the program.
Nursing Admission Point Scale Calculation: ACT OR TEAS OR HESI A2 (within the past 5 years and must have taken one-will calculate based on the highest point total if more than one exam has been taken) + GPA points + points from BIO 137, BIO 139, BIO 225 + 5 points for successful completion of 12 graded (non-developmental) college hours= total points.
1. Students with an unencumbered, active Practical Nurse license will be given an additional 5 points.
2. A student cannot receive points for both high school GPA and college GPA. A student will only receive points for their high school GPA if they do not have 12 hours of college credit. *Students with less than a 2.5 GPA are ineligible to apply for the program.
3. Students must earn a “C” or higher in BIO 137, BIO 139, BIO 225, and MAT 150
4. Students may be offered a seat in a nursing class contingent on completion of requirements (for example, pre-requisite courses as determined by the curriculum). Should a student fail to complete the predetermined requirements, the offered seat will be withdrawn.
5. In order to qualify for the Henderson Community College Associate Degree Nursing Program, a student must have an academic record free of disciplinary action. Students with disciplinary violations in any college within the KCTCS system or who have transcripts from other colleges indicating conduct violations will be considered ineligible for the program.
6. The Nursing Admissions Committee reserves the right to require an interview of any applicant to the Henderson Community College Associate Degree Nursing Program.
