School of Nursing Important Dates

The School of Nursing adheres to a strict admissions process. Important information about the dates of admission, interviews (Nurse Anesthesiology and PMHNP tracks only), decisions, orientation, etc. can be found below on this page. Note that the university-level graduate application forms typically open one (1) year in advance of the term to which admission is desired; changes were made in May 2023 by the university regarding when undergraduate applications will open for future terms. The exact date will vary slightly each application period.

All application forms, transcripts, application fees, supplemental items, licensure, and certifications (if applicable), and entrance exam scores (if applicable) are due by 11:59 p.m. on the listed deadline without exception.

IMPORTANT:  All dates and deadlines are subject to change without notice, based on factors such as the number of applications received and spots available.  We encourage you to apply early.

For those who wish to enroll with the School of Nursing as a non-degree seeking (NDS) post-baccalaureate (PB) student under Pre-CRNA, Pre-FNP, or Pre-PMHNP, please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions for the deadline by which to apply and submit your materials to the UNF Graduate School for consideration each term; our deadlines will differ from those of the university and other departments.  Seats fill quickly so candidates are strongly encouraged to apply early and to regularly check their UNF email accounts once NDS admission is obtained from the Graduate School.

Note:  This page will update periodically as needed. The most recent updates were issued on July 16, 2025.
