Nursing Degree Change Application

The Nursing Degree Change Application is an internal form for students currently enrolled in the Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN), Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), or Master of Science in Nursing – Direct Entry (MSN-DE) programs who wish to pursue a different nursing degree at Carroll University. This form may also be used by non-nursing students seeking to change their major to the ADN or BSN programs, and by students reapplying to the ADN or BSN programs following academic dismissal.

Admission criteria for each program may be found at the links below. Please note that admission and progression standards are subject to change based on regulatory, licensing, and/or certification requirements.

Nursing degree change requests are reviewed in collaboration with the appropriate nursing program directors and/or admission committees. Students approved for admission or readmission to the ADN or BSN programs will receive a course sequencing plan for registration purposes and will be assigned a new faculty advisor. Students who are not approved for admission to the ADN or BSN programs will be encouraged to connect with CU Central – Advising to explore alternative academic pathways.
