Applicants with a completed undergraduate degree may submit two separate applications to both the After-Degree Program and the regular 4-Year SCBScN Program as a post-secondary applicant. Those applicants who earn admission to both programs, and choose to accept the After-Degree Program seat, will be automatically removed from their 4-year SCBScN Program seat.

Official Post Secondary Transcripts

All post-secondary education must be declared on your application with official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions accompanying your application. See University of Regina for details.

All post-secondary transcripts must be mailed directly from each institution the applicant has attended, regardless of program, where any undergraduate courses were completed. All official post-secondary transcripts must be received to the University of Regina by March 15. If an applicant attends another institution after submitting their application to the SCBScN program, they are required to notify Saskatchewan Polytechnic. A transcript from the attended institution must be received by June 30.

Admission will be revoked if an application form is found to be inaccurate or incomplete, or if supporting documents are discovered to be fraudulent. Transfer credit will not be awarded for courses taken at institutions not listed on application forms or if an applicant fails to notify Saskatchewan Polytechnic of courses completed after submitting their application.

Applicants who are conditionally accepted due to enrollment in prerequisite courses at or beyond the document deadline, will be required to submit another official transcript with their final grades by June 30.

English Language Proficiency

The language of instruction at the University of Regina is English. All applicants to the University of Regina must therefore demonstrate an appropriate level of proficiency in the English language. See University of Regina for details.

If an applicant is demonstrating English language proficiency through an approved exam, the results must be submitted directly from the testing agency by March 15.

If you are an international applicant, all official transcripts (high school and post-secondary) and English Language Proficiency results (if applicable) must be submitted by January 31.

Applicants who have met all admission requirements at the time of application will be given priority. Conditional admission may be considered for applicants who have completed a minimum of three (3) or more admission requirement courses by the document deadline of March 15. Applicants who are enrolled in a remaining admission requirement course at or beyond the admission deadline may be offered conditional admission provided they are enrolled in the courses for which they have a deficit. Preference will be given to students to have completed all course requirements by the document deadline.

Applicants who have been admitted conditionally must satisfy all conditions outlined by the program including the completion of all admission requirement courses. An official transcript showing completion of these courses must be submitted to the University of Regina by June 30.

There is a non-refundable application fee of $100 which must be submitted with your application form. If you are applying online, payments can only be made using a credit card.

If you are a current or former University of Regina student, you are not required to pay this application fee; however, you must provide your University of Regina student identification number for verification and check off the box on the application form indicating that you are a current/former University of Regina student.

Each year, the After Degree Nursing Program receives more applications than available spaces. Admission to the After Degree Nursing Program is based on competitive entry. All applications are considered; Canadian citizens and permanent residents are given preference.

What to do if I want to complete prerequisite admission courses for the After Degree Nursing Program?

You may want to complete the Pre-Nursing Certificate (https://www.uregina.ca/cce/career-development/education-health/pre-nursing.html) which is offered through the Centre for Continuing Education and is comprised of the prerequisite admission courses for the ADNP.

Completion of this certificate does not guarantee admission into the ADNP. This certificate is not eligible for Canada Student Financial Assistance.
