Denver College of Nursing (DCN) reviews admissions applications and may enroll students who are residents from certain U.S. States. The student’s address of residency as reflected on government-issued identification, mail reflecting the student’s address, student attestation, lease agreement, or other verified documentation of physical location will be utilized to determine state of residency. Documentation must be provided at the time of enrollment. This policy is applicable to all students enrolled at DCN. Denver College of Nursing does not accept international students in its online programs.
Should the student change their address while enrolled at DCN, the student is required to notify the College’s Registrar to make an update to their physical location as needed. Should the student move out of one of the below listed states while enrolled at DCN, the College cannot guarantee the student’s new home state will allow them to complete their DCN program and may be required to withdraw the student from the program prior to completion. Students must notify the campus of a change in physical location within 30 days and provide proof of location change via approved documentation as noted above.
Denver College of Nursing operations (as performed currently) are regulated by certain state education authorities. DCN monitors state laws to determine that it is authorized in states in which it enrolls students, and that require such authorization. In the event that a change in DCN operations or changes in state regulations necessitate authorization, DCN will attempt to obtain such additional authorization, licensure, or approval. Some states either do not regulate Denver College of Nursing activities or regulate its activities but exempt it from obtaining authorization due to its regional accreditation or the lack of a physical presence.
