3. Completed ATI TEAS V entrance examination. Admission to Schreiner University as a student does not guarantee the student entry into the BSN program. It does allow you to compete for acceptance into the nursing program each Spring with classes beginning the following Fall semester. Admission to the nursing program is limited to a predetermined number of students, which will be 30 students for each of the first two years the program is operating. Acceptance is primarily based on academic performance. However, the applicant’s overall academic record, essay, letters of recommendation, history of community service and individual background are all considered in admission decisions. Criteria include: 1. ATI TEAS entrance exam text results with a minimum score of 72. 2. A minimum GPA of B in all prerequisite course work. 3. A minimum GPA of 3.0 in science courses. This includes all biology, chemistry and nutrition courses. Students who meet the criteria for admission to the nursing program, but are not admitted may have the option of being waitlisted in the event an opening occurs prior to the beginning of the Fall Semester. Students who are not admitted to the nursing program may reapply the following year; however this does not assure admission. Upon acceptance into the BSN program, students will be given information about additional nursing program requirements including a Criminal Background Check through the Texas Board of Nursing. Other conditions of acceptance may be listed on the acceptance letter that the student will be expected to fulfill by the stated deadlines.
CREDIT BY EXAMINATION Academic credit for college level learning may be earned by taking an examination in the appropriate area. In most cases credit granted can be used to satisfy specific and general degree requirements. Credits are awarded after completion of 15 semester hours of resident study at Schreiner University. Since a letter grade is not assigned to such credit, it is not counted toward the grade point average. Details of the credit by examination program and acceptable scores may be obtained from the office of the Registrar. Application for credit by examination must be made, in writing, to the Registrar. Schreiner grants credit through the following programs: 1. College Board, Advanced Placement (AP) 2. College Board, College Level Examination Program (CLEP) Subject Examinations 3. Locally Constructed Departmental Examinations 4. International Baccalaureate (IB)
