Application Process

Freshman Direct Admit: For applicants graduating from high school May/June 2023

Deadline Fall 2023

To be considered for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Direct Admit track, the College of Nursing students should apply for admission by January 14, 2023. If students submit late or incomplete applications for the 1/14 deadline, they will not be considered for admission into the Direct Track. They would only be considered for their 2nd choice major as indicated on the application for admission. All decisions will be communicated via email and letter by March 2023.

Step one: Apply to Florida Atlantic University.

Step two: The Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing Admission, Progression and Retention Sub-Committee will offer preliminary acceptance to the applicants who meet or exceed the admission review criteria.

1. When the applicant receives a preliminary acceptance, the final step in the admission process is the level two federal background checks and fingerprinting. Explicit directions will be provided in the letter of preliminary acceptance.
2. When the background check and fingerprinting are cleared, the Admission, Progression and Retention Sub-Committee will then offer the student full admission into the Freshman Direct Admit Track. The cost of all components of these procedures including any repeat procedures if needed is the responsibility of the applicant/student.
