It is very important you carefully review the admission requirements before submitting an application.

No. The admission requirements indicate your application will be cancelled with no refund if you apply while still enrolled in the academic requirements and cannot submit proof of successful completion within 15 days.

For the 2023/2024 academic year, the minimum accepted AGPAs were:

Notre Dame Campus

• Post-Secondary category: 2.50
• High School category: 3.40

Portage Campus

• Post-Secondary category: 2.624
• High School category: 3.80

Winkler Campus

• Post-Secondary category: 4.00
• High School category: 4.00

The minimum accepted AGPAs vary each year, depending on the groups of applicants.

No. Offers of admittance will be made based on RRC calculated AGPA in descending order until all available seats in each category (High School and Post-Secondary) are filled. Therefore, not all applicants who meet admission requirements will be offered a seat.

You can direct your inquiry to an Advisor.

Please refer to the Nursing Program English Language Assessment page for detailed information.

Please refer to our First Aid Course Requirements for details.

Recent successful completion of these courses helps ensure you have up-to-date basic A & P knowledge that the Nursing program will build upon.

We calculate your AGPA using the transcript(s) you submit within 15 days of applying. If you are currently completing courses that may increase your AGPA, we recommend you wait and apply to Nursing after course completion.

Although the Nursing program has three annual start dates (August, December, March), all applicants apply to the Fall start date and the College determines start dates.

Yes, applicants have 15 days from their date of application to submit all admission documents. If you apply between January 1 to April 15, you will have until May 15 to submit official final transcripts for any courses you are currently attending in the Winter term. If your institution is unable to provide your post-secondary transcript by May 15, you may email the Admissions Officer to request a short extension. All other admission documents must be submitted within the 15-day timeframe.

The online application system allows uploading of one electronic file only. We recommend you scan both pages of the form and save it as one file.

Post-secondary – If you submitted a PS transcript more than six (6) months ago, submission of a new transcript is required. High school – If you submitted your HS transcript more than one (1) year ago, resubmission is required.

We require submission of transcripts from all institutions attended. We verify courses and credit hours completed, completion dates, and final grades. When granting transfer credit, most institutions do not record all of this information on their transcript.

Yes. We require submission of transcripts verifying your complete academic history including any public or private high school, college, university, or technical institute you have attended. Non-submission of transcripts will result in cancellation of your application with no refund of the application fee. You will also not be able to reapply to RRC for one year.

The requirement for an RRC international credential assessment and the related fee will be waived if you submit a detailed, course-by-course assessment completed by a member of the Alliance of Credential Evaluation Services of Canada (ACESC). However, you must still submit your academic credentials including official transcripts unless the credential assessment includes verified photocopies of your transcripts.

You may request a location change prior to accepting your seat and paying your deposit. Note that some locations have a health region resident requirement. If RRC approves your location change request, the approval date will be your new application submission date. You may apply to two locations by submitting two applications and application fees for the same program at different locations.

Calculation methods and GPA scales used by other institutions may vary. We will calculate your AGPA using a 4.5 GPA scale and any post-secondary 1000 degree/diploma level or higher courses you have completed at any time. We include repeated, failed, excluded and forfeited grades that may not have been included in your GPA calculation. We do not include: grades of voluntary withdrawal, pass, fail, complete or incomplete; grades or credit hours from preparatory courses; courses not equivalent to post-secondary 1000 degree/diploma level or higher; and courses that are still in progress. We convert grades and credit hours for courses completed outside of Canada, which may result in differences.

Offers of admission for the August start date are usually emailed to successful applicants in June. Offers for the December and March start dates will be emailed throughout the summer and into the Fall. Applicants offered admission are required to pay a deposit fee within two weeks of the email date to secure their seat.

We will send an email in October to applicants who met minimum requirements but are not being offered admission based on the competitive AGPA.

The quickest and easiest way to pay your deposit is through your online HUB account using a credit card. If you have not yet used your HUB account, claim your username and password. For other payment options, visit our Fees page. If you are mailing a cheque payment, please be sure to put your payment in the mail at least one week before the due date to allow time for mail delivery and payment processing.

Once we receive your deposit payment, you will be admitted into the Nursing program. We will send you an admission letter introducing your Student Records Officer (SRO). Your SRO will be your new contact and will assist you through the registration process.

RRC will provide an acceptance letter once you are offered a seat and have paid your deposit.

Check documents dated less than 6 months prior to the program start date may be submitted to the Nursing department during your first month of classes. For information on why check documents are required, how to obtain them, the implications of having a record or being on an abuse list, and submission instructions visit our Criminal Record Check page.

Booklists change each year and are normally released a few months prior to the start of classes. Visit the Campus Bookstore to find the list of required books.
