Criteria for Admission
All students must meet the general admission requirements of Hampton University and the specific admission requirements of the School of Nursing. Admission to the Department of Undergraduate Nursing Education programs is a two-tier process: students must be admitted to the Lower Division and to the Upper Division. The acceptance letter of enrollment into the University does not automatically qualify students for acceptance into the Upper Division nursing program.
Lower Division
Students who are admitted to the Department of Undergraduate Nursing Education are initially admitted as Lower Division nursing majors. The University Office of Admissions accepts applicants who meet requirements for admission to the University with nursing as a declared major. The University general education requirements are subject to change.
- To apply for admission to Hampton University, the applicant must submit an application for admission, official sealed transcripts from all previous schools attended, and the University application fee (cashier's check or money order) to the Office of Admissions, Hampton University, Hampton, Virginia 23668. University applications are available at the Office of Admissions website. All admission-related documents must be received by the Office of Admissions deadline.
- Students who meet University admission criteria will be admitted to the Lower Division. If enrolled at the University as undecided, a student must apply to declare nursing as the major.
- All transfer students seeking admission to the baccalaureate nursing program's Lower Division are subject to the same admission policies governing non-transfer undergraduate students.
- Students who have been enrolled in another nursing program must have left that prior program in good academic standing and not have failed a required nursing course to be eligible to apply for admission to the Lower Division.
Any student who has completed courses at an accredited college or university may request transfer credit for general education courses only. Students must provide an official transcript listing the course(s) and a catalog course description from the college or university where the course was taken. Only grades of “C” or higher are acceptable for transfer credit. Nursing courses at other institutions are not eligible for transfer credit.
