Hello,

nothing yet. This is very disappointing, I don't understand why they can't just send them all out at the same time. Or at least tell people they didn't get in instead of waiting.

Hi Giselle, 

I just received an email from the nursing department around 30 min ago so I think they are starting to send them out now.

Hello! My name is Ben! I've been accepted into ARC's nursing program for Spring 2026. I just found this forum. It's nice to virtually meet you all!

I saw previous questions asking about TEAS scores, so here were my application stats:

TEAS: 96%

Application points: 90/100

I also have my CNA certification

Hi Ben, 

I was also accepted into the program, when I got the email I followed the instructions on how to accept the offer and went to my portal to do it. I didn't get any confirmation or email after I accepted. Did you? Or do you think they'll just send out info later on?

Hi Kayana!

I didn't get a confirmation email either. I was hoping for one so that I could double check that I accepted, but it doesn't look like there's a way to do that from the application page.

I hope to meet you soon too!

Specializes in Emergency Department.

Caveat for what is to follow: I wasn't a grad of ARC's program I'm an SCC grad.

You probably won't get a confirmation email about you accepting the program invite. They will expect that you know you accepted the invite so they don't have to remind you that you accepted. Now then, keep an eye out for some instructional emails to go out as to when and were you must show up for orientation to the program. There's a LOT of stuff they need to go over, including uniform sizing, deadlines for submission of various records (like immunizations and/or BLS certs) and the like. This is all part of the admissions process and you're not likely formally a student in their program until you actually start class in January. You will need to attend this meeting. There is a possiblity you may need to pay for various stuff and they'll also tell you when you will need to pick up a nurse student bundle (for lack of a better way to describe it) that will have your books, lab supplies, and other stuff in it and it is required for all 1st semester students. I'll reiterate this: there will likely be fees you will need to pay before starting your 1st day of class... and pay close attention to deadlines. They matter and it IS part of the process. It's an attention to detail kind of thing. 

Good luck to all of you who are accepted!

Does anyone know if there is an alternative list for ARC? and if there is, do they let us know?

I believe there is an alternate list. My friend who started last semester said he was notified that he was on the alternate list, though I'm not sure how many students are selected for the class and selected as alternates.

Hi Ester,

When I called them they let me know that there are 20 people admitted into the program and 20 people on the alternate list. I'm not sure if they notify if you have been chosen as an alternate. Have you gotten an email yet?

Hi everyone!

I was accepted into the program, and I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone. I've heard such great things about ARC!

I also didn't get a confirmation when I accepted my position. I emailed the school, so we'll see what they say. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. Nice to meet you all!
