Nursing Admissions

IVCC currently has dual admissions agreements with Illinois Central College and Sauk Valley Community College for students attending or paying taxes to Midland School District, Fieldcrest School District, Henry-Senachwine School District, and Bureau Valley School District. This agreement allows students to attend either community college at in-district tuition rates. Students will be coded as out-of-district and may be asked to prove residency with the Cashier to receive the in-district rate. Important note: This does not imply residency for the purpose of admissions into limited admissions programs such as nursing. Students who reside out of the district and within these dual admissions areas are still considered out-of-district for the nursing program and will be admitted only after all qualified in-district applicants have been admitted. Back To Top

The formula for admission is based on the following components:

1. Core Course Grade Points (67.5%)
2. Completion of Related Courses (6.25%)
3. HESI Admission Assessment (A2) Cumulative Scores (18.75%)
4. Clinical Work Experience (2.5%)
5. Prior Educational Experience (5%)

We have developed a nursing calculator, available online at www.ivcc.edu/nursingcalculator to assist you in estimating your score for nursing admission. Please note that this online calculator is only an estimate and the final, official scores will be calculated by the Admissions Office.

The Nursing application will be available in online at www.ivcc.edu/apply

A degree audit is required for every student applying to the program. Call the counseling office at 815-224-0360 to set up a meeting with a counselor. We also recommend attending a Nursing Information Session prior to starting coursework at IVCC. These sessions are absolutely essential in the planning process for application to the IVCC nursing program.
