Thank you for your interest in the undergraduate nursing program at Winona State University. Please review the following
information carefully.
The application for admission to the WSU nursing program is attached. This application is only for the Fall 2011
Semester Admission. The form is quite explanatory, but we ask that you fill out your information accurately – especially
your full address and e-mail address. As verification that we received your application, an e-mail will be sent to you letting
you know your application was received in the office. If you have not received an e-mail, that means we did not receive
your application by the deadline date which is February 1st, 2011 by 4:00 p.m. No applications will be accepted after the
deadline date. If an e-mail is not sent to you by January 31st, 2011 you will need to contact our office by 4:00 p.m. on
February 1st, 2011 to verify that your application has been received.
Following are instructions for you to follow if you are a current Winona State student:
** All students admitted to the Nursing: Generic Option for Fall 2011, must complete all prerequisites, including the
requirement for certification as a nursing assistant, and be listed as “active” on the Minnesota Department of Health’s
Nursing Assistant Registry before courses begin for Fall semester 2011. For more information, please see attached letter
in the application packet.
STUDENTS CURRENTLY ENROLLED AT WSU:
1. After summer session, the Nursing Department will obtain your WSU transcript for placement in your nursing file.
2. Review admission policies and procedures to be sure your file is complete and you are ready to apply.
3. Students who signed the Four-Year Graduation Guarantee Contract as first-year WSU students and meet the
contract requirements will have first priority for admission to the nursing program.
TRANSFER STUDENTS:
For Fall 2011, the number of students who signed the Four Year Guarantee exceeds the number of positions available in the
nursing program. As a result, we will not be able to accept applications from transfer students seeking admission to the
nursing major for Fall 2011. If you are a transfer student seeking admission to the nursing major, please visit your academic
advisor for clarification.
WSU STUDENTS:
The Department of Nursing Undergraduate Progression Committee will meet in late February to review applicant files and
determine who will be admitted to the nursing program. By the mid March, each person applying to the nursing program
will receive a letter regarding his or her admission status.
Nursing is an exciting and personally satisfying profession. The faculty looks forward to working with you as you prepare to
become a professional nurse. Please do not hesitate to contact the Department of Nursing if you have any questions. The

Please return this signed form with your admission application.
SIGNATURE REQUIRED
The following policies and admission procedures pertain to the Fall 2011 nursing admission. Note that these policies are also found in
your WSU catalog and the letter accompanying your nursing application. You are responsible for meeting all admission criteria and
making sure that your file is complete.
To be considered for admission to the WSU Nursing Program, you:
1. must have completed 4 out of 5 natural science prerequisites with Chemistry 210 or 4 out of 6 natural science
prerequisites with Chemistry 212 & 213 with a grade of “C” or better;
2. must have a plan for completing all prerequisite courses (including English 111);
(NOTE: All prerequisites must be completed with a “C” or better before starting the nursing major in the fall.)
3. application form must be received (not postmarked) by 4:00 p.m., Tuesday February 1st, 2011.
For the Fall Semester 2011 nursing admission process, priority consideration will be given to students who are enrolled in and meet
the criteria of the 4-year graduation guarantee program.
Conditions that need to be met for continuation in the 4-year graduation guarantee:
1. All entering first-year students wishing to participate in the graduation guarantee program must complete the guarantee
application form and officially declare a major within the nursing department during their first two weeks of their first
semester classes.
2. All participating students must be qualified to begin college level (non-remedial) science, mathematics, and English courses
as required by the nursing major. If the student takes Math 050 and/or English 099, this contract is void. All 100 level
University courses are acceptable and not considered remedial.
3. All participating students must pre-register for classes each semester and have their class schedules approved by their official
nursing advisor.
4. All participating students must meet university or program GPA and/or grade requirements as stipulated in the University
catalog and/or the schedule of classes and have a cumulative GPA of 3.30 at the end of the 3rd semester the student is enrolled
at WSU. The cumulative GPA is not rounded up.
5. All participating students must successfully complete an average course load of 15 credits each semester (30 credits per
academic year). This includes any PSEO credits and summer school credits completed prior to first application to the nursing
major.
6. Any prerequisite courses are completed with a grade “C” or better and you can not withdraw (W) or repeat any of these
prerequisite courses.
7. This guarantee is only valid for the Nursing major, Generic Option.
8. Failure to meet any of the above conditions (1-7) voids the guarantee. Once the graduation guarantee contract is void, the
student is not eligible for reinstatement of the contract.
I have reviewed the Nursing program admission criteria. I know that I am responsible for monitoring my admission status, including
submitting required transcripts and evaluations of transfer credit. I agree to complete all nursing prerequisites before beginning the
major in FALL 2011.
