Admission Requirements
Aspen University’s admission requirements vary by degree-level and program. Please review the specific degree requirements for each degree-level and program.
Official Transcripts
Official Transcripts from previous institutions are required and must be sent directly from a student’s previous institution via mail or through secure electronic service to the Office of the Registrar. Hardcopy transcripts that are not issued from the originating institution in a sealed envelope or electronic transcripts received in a format other than a secure electronic service will be considered unofficial. Aspen University does not accept official transcripts via email attachment or fax. If a student’s previous institution is no longer in operation, the student may provide Official Transcripts from the appropriate representing institution.
Provisional Acceptance
Students applying to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Completion Program), Master of Science in Nursing programs, or Doctor of Nursing Practice program may be admitted on a provisional basis if their prior GPA does not meet minimum requirements. To be considered for provisional acceptance, students may be required to submit additional documentation, which will be reviewed by the Nursing Admissions Committee.
Petitions for Exception
Students who do not meet the minimum admissions requirements for their program may be able to submit additional documentation to petition for an exception to admissions policies. Students wishing to pursue this option should contact their Enrollment Advisor for more information regarding the process for their specific program.
