During the Fall review, applicants are selected for the upcoming Fall semester.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How:<\/strong> All applications and re-applications turned in during an admission cycle are reviewed and ranked to compile the current ranking list. Applicants are selected for admission based on their placement on the current ranking list from highest rank to lowest rank. The ADN Program does not maintain a rank list that allows an applicant to automatically advance in rank from one application cycle to the next. To be considered for admission you must either apply or re-apply during each admission cycle. The new ranking list is compiled from only those who applied during that cycle. This may result in upward or downward movement on the rank from one cycle to the next as individual scores are compared to the scores of all the applicants in the current pool at that time. Each applicant selected for admission will be notified via email and given a deadline to accept or decline the invitation to join the upcoming class. Acceptance letters are sent to each applicant in order of rank until all available seats in the class are filled. Applicants who do not respond to letters of acceptance will be removed from the applicant pool and lose all review points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Special Notes&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;special-notes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It is critical that each applicant maintain current contact information on file with the college Admissions Office and the Nursing Office (name, address, and telephone number) since these are the official sources of information for contacting applicants.<\/li>\n<li>If an applicant is unable to begin the ADN program at the schedule time after having accepted the admission, the applicant must notify the ADN Program Admissions Coordinator at least forty-five (45) days prior to the first class day. Failure to do so will result in the loss of all review points AND the student will be required to skip an application cycle.<\/li>\n<li>Please note that to be compliant with clinical facility requirements, a mandatory&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/health\/criminal-background-check\/\">Criminal Background Check<\/a> (CBC)&nbsp;and <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/health\/drug-screening\/\">Drug Screening<\/a> will be required prior to admission to the ADN Program.
