Please Note: All applicants who wish to use two years of high school foreign language to meet the MAPS (Minimum Academic Preparation Standards) requirements must arrange for official high school transcripts to be sent to the University of Colorado College of Nursing address listed above. Applicants who graduated from high school prior to 1988; those who graduated from a non‐U.S. high school; or those for whom English is not their native language are exempt from the MAPS foreign language requirement.  

For ESL applicants:

• Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) results must be reported directly from ETS to the University of Colorado College of Nursing Office of Admissions by the May 1 deadline to be considered for admission. Potential Integrated Nursing Pathway applicants who do not currently meet the minimum TOEFL requirement may investigate Community College of Aurora’s ESL resources through the ESL department or participate in the University of Colorado College of Nursing’s free English as a Second Language (ESL) workshops that are offered on Saturdays throughout the school year. These workshops can help strengthen English skills in preparation for taking the TOEFL test. To sign up, call 303-724-1488. Instructions for the TOEFL are listed under Admission Requirements on the College of Nursing Bachelor of Science Admission website. Follow all instructions carefully. 

For College Level Examination Program (CLEP) Scores:

• If you plan to use CLEP credit for required coursework, please be aware of what is allowed at both CCA and CU. Each institution allows CLEP scores for specific courses and not each course allowed is acceptable at both. As well, minimum scores are different. The minimum score for CU College of Nursing is 54, and that will be the required score. To see what courses are allowed CLEP scores, please visit both institutions' websites referring to CLEP:  CCA CLEP Courses and CU CLEP Courses

Once you have completed the application and if you meet the minimum admission standards, you will be scheduled for an on-campus writing sample and a personal interview. You will be notified of these appointments and all communications regarding the application via your Community College of Aurora e-mail.
