RN to BSN Application Process

Application Process for RN to BSN Students

  1. Complete an application to the School of Nursing:
  2. Complete an application to Old Dominion University as a degree-seeking student.
  3. Obtain transcripts from all educational institutions attended including high school .
    1. Transcripts for your School of Nursing application may be unofficial, so photocopies of your own copies of grade reports are acceptable.
    2. Transcripts to support your university application must be official, mailed from your previous institution to Old Dominion's Admissions Office or to your TELETECHNET Site Director.
  4. Return completed applications.
    1. Attach to the School of Nursing application the following materials:
      • Photocopy of current unencumbered license
      • Unofficial transcripts of all previous educational institutions attended since high school

A TELETECHNET Site Director may request that you send this information to the site office so he or she can assist you in the collection of materials. It is ultimately the student's responsibility, however, to ensure that the complete application packet is received in the School of Nursing by the posted deadline.

    1. Return the completed university application to the Office of Admissions, or to a TELETECHNET Site Office, with application fee attached; or complete the process on the web.
  1. Wait for notification. This can be the hardest step!
    1. You will receive notifications from the School of Nursing and the Office of Admissions.
    2. Admission to Old Dominion University does not guarantee acceptance to the School of Nursing. RN to BSN students must be admitted to the university as a degree-seeking student and to the School of Nursing.
    3. Students who are not accepted will be advised on appropriate preparation for acceptance in another year.
    4. For admission the successful RN>BSN applicant must have completed:

If you have decided not to attend at this time, the confirmation form letting us know that you are not planning to attend will allow another qualified applicant to attend.
    • The acceptance letter will have information on the class time(s) available to you to attend at your chosen site.
