Please Note: Transfer students must apply to the University and be unconditionally accepted, prior to applying to the BSN program. UNG must receive your completed application for admission and all supporting documents prior to the deadline. All Transfer students are required to attend a transfer student orientation after acceptance. Due to the high volume of pre-nursing student inquires, we are not able to meet individually with students until they are enrolled. We ask that transfer students attend a transfer info session for additional information and to talk to an advisor. See main BSN webpage for Transfer student info session dates and location.
