When I originally wanted to apply to Jeff State I had not been in college for exactly 10 years. I was told that if I had taken any college course within the 10 year period, that grade would serve as my gpa. It did not matter what the course was or where it was taken, as long as it counted as college credit. I did not have to retake anatomy or physiology or any other course for that matter even though it had been over 10 years since I took them. I simply had to complete a course and be assigned a grade before I could apply. You can take something taught in between semesters or one of the other short term sessions if you want to get the requirement met quickly. In any case, I would encourage you to make an appointment with a prenursing advisor to be sure you get the most up-to-date info on requirements just to be on the safe side. Good Luck! :wink2:

I was not a native UAB student although I took most of my core prenursing courses there. I have a 3.7 GPA and have already finished all my prereq courses. I had applied to UAB in the fall with the same credientals but didn't get accepted so I tried again. This time it paid off!

I got my letter of acceptance today, October 24th. Best of luck to all applicants.
