NJCU ABSN 2015

Published

The application for NJCU is open for both Wall and Jersey City! I thought I would make a thread for this years round of applicants. We can share our experience with NursingCAS and the HESI.

Hope y'all find this!

I took my HESI at Brookdale and they put in their Dept. ID number in. I've been on the phone with sooo many people trying to solve the matter and getting different answers. I called the nursing admissions department at NJCU and they said as long as it is in NursingCAS I should be ok ???

dianamoore748 , I spoke with a representative from NJCU. They are allowing 2 weeks after the deadline for NursingCAS to verify your application. The final deadlines are: Wall-Feb 17 and Jersey City -March 9th. After the final deadline decision letters will be sent out 2-3 weeks after.

Hi, everyone. NursingCAS told me that because NJCU does not require full coursework entry that these applications would not be verified. I was told that verification means calculating a GPA. According to NursingCAS, only programs that require full coursework entry into the transcript entry section would be verified with GPA calculations. Those programs requiring only prerequisite entry would have the GPAs on their transcripts reported to the program.

Hi there Teacups -- Welcome!

I had entered almost all of my coursework (as that was the requirement of last year's cycle), save for one or two courses I had taken at a community college because it did not apply to the program requirements. My transcripts and application were verified and NursingCAS even included a course into my GPA that was on my transcript that I did not enter on NursingCAS. So I'm not sure what NursingCAS meant when they told you that the application won't be verified, because mine went through without a hitch!!

If this is true, it's concerning because I believe NJCU will only receive our applications if they are verified.

Please let us know if you hear anything else.

Again, welcome and best of luck!

Has anyone submitted their app and been verified with JUST entering prerequisite courses and omitting all other coursework on NursingCAS?

Teacups , NursingCAS verifies transcripts and references. NursingCAS has to verify your application for the school to be able to see it. Here is some info I found from the makers of the program http://www.aacn.nche.edu/NursingCAS/What_is_Verification.pdf

This is the reply I received from NursingCAS a few days ago regarding verification.

"As for verification NursingCAS only verifies applications that have COMPLETE

coursework entry. Therefore since you only are required to fill out your

Prerequisites we will not verify your application. Your NursingCAS application

is considered complete for New Jersey City University."

I was also told that NJCU has access to the application already.

On the manage programs tab on NursingCAS does is say your application was verified?

Interesting!! Thanks for that, Teacups !

I wonder at what point NJCU gains access.

No, it is not verified. Did you do the same as tinemarie and put in all coursework?

I did enter my coursework as I am applying to other programs.

How long ago did you submit you application?
