Each applicant for admission is assigned an Admissions Advisor who guides the applicant through the steps of the admissions process, provides information on curriculum, policies, procedures, and services, and assists the applicant in setting necessary appointments and interviews in person, virtually, or by phone as appropriate. Applicants should be prepared to discuss their career goals, applicable experience, and education background during the admissions interview.
Admission decisions are based on the applicant’s fulfillment of the admission requirements (both general requirements and specific program admissions requirements), a review of the applicant’s previous educational records, and a review of the applicant’s career interests. It is the responsibility of the applicant to see that Denver College of Nursing (DCN) receives all required documentation. All records received become the property of DCN.
Successful applicants will be accepted through a ranked point system by the Admissions Committee and will be notified of acceptance when all admissions requirements are met. If needed, all applicants must adhere to the current DCN alternate list policy. Applicants who are not accepted will receive a full refund of any amounts paid with the exception of the non-refundable application fee. Enrollments may be accepted until the orientation date; no enrollments are accepted after the orientation date.
