Entry requirements
For international students
Applicants need to complete and submit an online application to the SAC Nursing Program. Admission to the nursing program is competitive. The Admission Committee reviews applicants and determines conditional admission based on multi-criteria that includes degree-required prerequisite courses with a minimum GPA of 2.5 or higher at the time of application. We accept grades of C or better. Submitting incomplete, misleading, or fabricated information on the student admission application or any admission document is reason for dismissal of the student from the nursing program at the time the breach is discovered. Students are strongly encouraged to retain original copies of all documents submitted as part of the application packet.
*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
