RN Options - Admission

Admission to the RN Mobility Tracks is a two-step process. Applicants are first considered for admission to The University of Alabama as lower division students. After completion of lower division coursework, students apply for promotion to the upper division (nursing courses) of the curriculum.

A complete listing of required classes is available at the Program of Studies page.

Lower Division

Prospective RN Mobility students are admitted to the lower division once they meet The University of Alabama admission requirements and declare “Educational Opportunity for Registered Nurses” (EORN) as their major on the application. The application for admission is available at http://apply.ua.edu.

Students may have completed many lower division courses at another institution. Unofficial evaluations of previous academic work are available prior to admission to The University of Alabama. Students interested in such an evaluation should contact Linda Cox, Program Assistant for RN Mobility, at 800.313.3591 (toll-free), 205.348.2826 (direct), or lgcox@bama.ua.edu.

Upper Division

Students must submit a second application before enrolling in online Nursing classes.

• To enroll in the full-time plan of study, RN to BSN students must complete All core courses prior to beginning any nursing courses.
• To enroll in the part-time program of studies, RN to BSN students must have completed all science courses and direct pre-requisites for the nursing courses. Students who lack no more that 4 core courses will be allowed to complete those courses with the nursing courses.
