What are the application deadlines?
Our application deadline for fall admission is August 1; for spring admission the deadline is January 5.

Do I need to fill out a separate application to be considered for a scholarship?
No. When you apply for admission, you automatically apply for all our merit-based scholarships for transfer students.

When will I find out which credits will transfer from my previous college?
A credit evaluation will be included in your acceptance packet. If you are currently taking classes, we will do another credit evaluation to reflect your completed coursework.


Why is the nursing program especially difficult to get into?
Admission to nursing is especially competitive for a variety of reasons, among them a challenging curriculum, high demand for the program, and Mount Saint Vincent’s commitment to keeping classes small to maintain a personal learning environment.
