Applicants are eligible for AU if at least one of their programs is in ‘Verified’ status by the AU request deadline. Application status can be viewed under the Check Status tab in NursingCAS. Upon submission of the AU request, NursingCAS will verify the applicant’s new grades, calculate an updated GPA, and send this information to their programs. While an AU is optional, some programs require this information for admissions consideration. Students are encouraged to submit their request for new transcripts to their Registrar’s Office ASAP, if necessary, to allow plenty of processing/mailing time before winter break closings.
