When transferring credits to the BRAND Program, students may find it beneficial to go to the transfer guide to access the UW Transfer Equivalency Self-Service site. This site can assist in discovering how courses taken at other institutions will transfer and can be used to earn a degree at UW. Transfer evaluation reports created on this site are NOT official but rather serve as a guide. Official evaluations are not completed until after being fully admitted to UW.
As part of the BRAND nursing major application process, transfer coursework will be evaluated by the School of Nursing to determine transfer equivalency of required prerequisite courses.
The Registrar is the official evaluator and the School of Nursing further determines which courses are then applicable to the nursing curriculum. Evaluations processed by the School of Nursing are subject to change until they have been determined to be official.
To request a transcript evaluation from the School of Nursing, please contact BRAND@uwyo.edu
----------
Students must have at least a bachelor’s degree by the fall prior to admission.
University of Wyoming Admission
Admission to the University of Wyoming (UW) as an undergraduate seeking student is required by the December application deadline.
Those who are not current/active UW students will need to apply separately to the university. Application/admission criteria is located on the UW Admissions website, www.uwyo.edu/admissions/.
Official Transcripts
UW must be in receipt of official transcripts from all other colleges/universities attended through the end of the summer semester so that the FWWSON has access to those by the December-application deadline. This includes transcripts for coursework that may have only included unsatisfactory grades and/or course withdrawals. In addition, official scores must also be on record with the university documenting any exam/test scores [e.g. Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), and Math placement (ACT, SAT, MPE)].
Official transcripts and exam/test scores must be sent to the UW Admissions Office. Applicants should verify that complete transcripts and exam/test scores are on file with the university prior to the application deadline. The FWWSON has access to UW transcripts.
Prerequisite Coursework
The BRAND Program has eleven prerequisite courses. Prerequisite courses must be successfully completed by the end of the Fall semester, with the exception of PHCY 4470, which needs to be completed by the end of Spring semester. “Successfully completed” means that students must have a C or better in all required courses and a 2.75 minimum grade point average (GPA) for those courses. Applicants can have prerequisite courses in progress at the time of application. Please be advised that this does not guarantee admission.
Active CNA Certification or LPN Licensure
All students are required to have an active CNA or LPN licensure for admission to
the program. If not currently CNA certified, please explain plans for completing the
certification and upload your document in the application. Proof of state board of
nursing certification must be presented by May 1 or provisional acceptance to the
BRAND Program will be revoked. CNA certification must remain active throughout the
entire program.
See the Wyoming State Board of Nursing web site for listing of training programs in
Wyoming.
Active CPR Certification
All students must have an active CPR (Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers)
card through the American Heart Association by May 1. The certification must remain
current through the entire BRAND program (summer, fall, spring and summer semesters).
English Language Proficiency Policy
Refer to International Admission Requirements for Transfer Students related to non-native English-speaking students.
Applicants held to the English Language Proficiency Policy for nursing admission are required to have TOEFL scores on record with the university by the December application deadline documenting acceptable scores as noted within that policy.
