Official Post Secondary Transcripts

All post-secondary education must be declared on your application with official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions accompanying your application. See University of Regina for details.

All post-secondary transcripts must be mailed directly from each institution the applicant has attended, regardless of program, where any undergraduate courses were completed. All official post-secondary transcripts must be received to the University of Regina by March 15. If an applicant attends another institution after submitting their application to the SCBScN program, they are required to notify Saskatchewan Polytechnic. A transcript from the attended institution must be received by June 30.

Admission will be revoked if an application form is found to be inaccurate or incomplete, or if supporting documents are discovered to be fraudulent. Transfer credit will not be awarded for courses taken at institutions not listed on application forms or if an applicant fails to notify Saskatchewan Polytechnic of courses completed after submitting their application.

Applicants who are conditionally accepted due to enrollment in prerequisite courses at or beyond the document deadline, will be required to submit another official transcript with their final grades by June 30.

Each year, the After Degree Nursing Program receives more applications than available spaces. Admission to the After Degree Nursing Program is based on competitive entry. All applications are considered; Canadian citizens and permanent residents are given preference.

How can I complete prerequisite admission courses for the After Degree Nursing Program?

You may want to complete the Nursing Readiness Certificate (https://www.uregina.ca/cce/career-development/education-health/nursing-readiness.html) which is offered through the Centre for Continuing Education and is comprised of the prerequisite admission courses for the ADNP.

Completion of this certificate does not guarantee admission into the ADNP. This certificate is not eligible for Canada Student Financial Assistance.
