FAU 2014 ABSN applicants

Hi fishfan,

I agree with Quendi- they should take your Calculus grade, but it is possible they will allow you to take it in Spring. I am in an interesting position- I took dual enrollment courses while in high school so I filled most of my general education requirements that way. I haven't taken intro to sociology, but have taken upper division anthropology and social work courses. I spoke to someone in the nursing school and she told me that if in fact the upper division courses won't be substitutes, I can take the course in January. I'm actually clepping the exam, but maybe the same will apply to your algebra class.

Thank you both for your encouragement. A representative from the program said that, while they can't guarantee acceptance, they have accepted precalculus in some instances in the past. I still don't know if a C- is classified as a C or if I can retake the course next spring, but I figure some sort of resolution will be had one way or another. Quendi- I was in a similar spot with PBSC. I had taken upper division anthropology courses as well, but none transferred (go figure). I ended up taking the CLEP for HG&D, but bit the bullet and took sociology there. I hadn't even thought of contacting FAU to ask them about my situation; I had the time to take the class, so I did.

I am finishing up Nutrition, HG&D, and Sociology this semester. They are the only things I have left, and I am actually enjoying them. I have the best Sociology professor imaginable.

On another note, my transcripts were verified a few days ago. I guess the 5 weeks is more applicable for end of term periods. It only took them a few days to get mine done once I submitted. Now to finish up the term with A's and hope for the best! :cat:

I'm taking nutrition, too Quendi! Are you taking it online?

Quendi · Oct 10, 2013

I sure am! :) We are probably on the same discussion forums since it's a combined course.

Anyone know if TEAS scores need to be sent to the program? I didn't take the exam at FAU, but I did upload my results to NursingCAS.

Quendi · Oct 20, 2013

I know under the FAQ it states that you report it on NursingCAS. However, I just found this under the application area. I copied this straight from the web page.

"If the TEAS exam is taken at a center other than FAU's Testing Center, the Individual Performance Profile report provided by the testing center must be faxed, mailed, or e-mailed to the College of Nursing for verification. The College of Nursing must receive this report before the nursing program application deadline."

I would be sure to do both.

Thanks, Quendi.

Does anyone know where to put your z number in nursingcas?

Quendi · Oct 21, 2013

You know, that's a great question! I imagine since it is a centralized service it would come up once you actually select FAU as your designation. For the life of me I can't remember if I had to submit it at that point, but that would be the only place to submit it that makes sense.

Well guys, one month down, 2.5 to go! XD How are applications going?

As per the unanswered question posed by kayl600, has anyone else applied who has noticed where the FAU Z number is placed?

I retook the teas v today. got an 82. I sent my transcripts to nursingcas already. I will submit my app in today.
