Open Admission Summer or Fall 2026
Admission to the nursing program is different than admission to the University of Northern Colorado; there are two separate applications required.
- Apply to the University Here. Use the code ‘ètvnursing’ to waive the application fee.
It is strongly recommended that all applicants to the ètv BSN programs meet with a pre-nursing advisor to go over the application checklist. To meet with an advisor, you must be first admitted to ètv and have a bear number. You may still apply without completing this step, but please note that if you are missing any items your application will be rejected.
The completed application to the Nursing program is due, through NursingCAS, by Thursday, January 15th, 2026, at 5pm (MT).
Join for an Application Q&A Session on Wednesday, October 15th, 2025 at 7:30pm (MST) via .
- You can also view this about admission information for students who are interested in starting the BSN program in either summer or fall 2026.
Selection Process
We look at many things when deciding who gets into our program. Your GPA and HESI test scores indicate your academic performance. The Casper test and recommendation surveys tell us about your professional skills. These include how well you work with others, how you solve problems, and how you communicate. All of this comes together to make your “admission score.”:
