How to Apply to the Nursing Program

Prospective nursing students are strongly advised to attend a Nursing Information Seminar.

The School of Nursing operates Associate Degree Programs in two locations (Ammerman Campus and Grant Campus). When applying to the Nursing Program you may select your campus location preference. Please be advised that preferences are not guaranteed.

Current High School Students:

Current high school students may complete an application online or in person at the Admissions office, and submit an official high school transcript or GED with immunization records as well as a meningitis form.

Students previously or currently enrolled in college, or
High School Graduates with no college credits:

If you have taken courses at Suffolk County Community College before, but are not currently attending, submit a readmission form through the Office of Admissions. (You may need to resubmit your high school and/or college transcripts if you have not been in attendance for more than 3 years.)

To take courses as a non-matriculated student (non-degree seeking) you may register by completing a Non-Degree Student Application Form. Some courses have pre-requisite requirements and may require a waiver. Meeting with a counselor prior to registration can provide you with additional information.

To begin taking courses as a matriculated student (degree seeking), you must submit an admission application for Liberal Arts General Studies to the campus where the desired program is offered. Courses may be taken on a full-time (12 credits or more) or part-time (11 credits or less) basis.
