Nursing Application Process

We will begin accepting nursing program applications for Fall 2025 through the admission cycle starting Jan. 15- April 1, 2025, using the Nursing Central Application System (CAS). Classes will start August 2025.

Starting Fall 2025, the Bachelor of Science in Nursing will consist of 120 credit hours and is divided into two years of prerequisites and two years of nursing courses. Interested applicants must first be accepted into the University of Lynchburg as a traditional or transfer student.

Applicants will either complete their first two years of prerequisites courses at the University of Lynchburg or be a transfer student admitted to the University of Lynchburg and hold the required completed prerequisites. Interested applicants should have completed all prerequisites, completed the TEAS test and all other application requirements.

  • All applicants must apply through the CAS. Once applicants access the system, they will need to select the Fall 2025 term, set up their account and then select the University of Lynchburg BSN program and follow the instructions to apply.
  • Applications for the Fall entry term will be accepted as of Jan. 15 – April 1. The CAS considers an application to be complete when all items including fees, official transcripts, TEAS test scores, and other required items are e-submitted with the application.
    • The University of Lynchburg requires that application items be verified by CAS before being reviewed by the nursing admissions committee. This verification process can take up to four weeks. Applicants should submit all items to CAS as early as possible.
  • Learn More About Nursing CAS Application Fees and Fee Waivers
  • All qualified applicants who are accepted will receive notice via email (check your spam filter) by June 15. Additional requirements such as criminal background checks, including FBI Fingerprints, drug screen, and clinical clearance requirements are also required prior to starting nursing courses.
