Use this RN application checklist as a guide for successfully completing the application process for the college and the RN program. All application materials must be received on or before March 1 of each year.
 

Complete College Enrollment

For consideration of program admittance, you must have completed Chattanooga State enrollment before the program deadline.  If you are not a current student at Chattanooga State, please complete a College application online and choose “Credit Division” then choose “Nursing”. Successful completion of all admission requirements to Chattanooga State entails:

• Submitting all official transcripts, vaccination, proof of citizenship, etc.
• Testing (if applicable)
• Orientation (if applicable)

Go to the admission status page to check on your admission status.
 

Once College Enrollment is Complete

Meet with an advisor to develop your academic plan. All general education courses must be completed prior to entering the Nursing program. Points are awarded for completed courses in the selection process. Please call (423) 697-2456 to set up an advising appointment. Note: To help you understand the program acceptance process, important details, etc., attend a Nursing information session.
 

Transfer Student

If taking classes at another college and applying directly to the program: Start Chattanooga State admission process early. Be sure to include transcripts that you are presently taking even though in progress. As soon as final grades are posted, have your transcript sent immediately to Chattanooga State Admission’s Office to be evaluated. This way you can be fully admitted by program deadline date.
 

Program Requirements before Deadline:

• Attend a Nursing information session to obtain an explanation of the application process and important program details (session not required, but strongly recommended).
• Take the TEAS test.  Sign up early, spaces fill up fast. For more information about the TEAS test and registration form visit the ATI TEAS website.

• Must maintain a “C” or better in all Nursing courses
• Must have Nursing GPA of 2.5 or greater

Remember:  The point calculation includes fall courses completed at the time of the application deadline. Therefore, if you do not attend Chattanooga State, immediately after your fall grades are posted, send your final transcript to the Chattanooga State Admission Office so they can be evaluated before program deadline date.
