You must have official transcripts from all previous educational experiences outside of high school (colleges, universities, etc.) sent to the Office of Registration & Records before applying to the INP program (see Step 5). Please note: This program is intended for Colorado residents who complete the majority of their prerequisites in the Colorado Community College System.
Students accepted into the INP program will have the option to choose the Associate of General Studies Degree (A.G.S.) or the Associate of Science degree (A.S.). Those choosing the A.S. degree must take one Oral Communication class, COM 1150, 1250 or 2220. Students who do not take one of these classes will receive an A.G.S. degree.
You must complete all nine required prerequisites courses by the end of the spring semester in the year you are applying to the program.

Make sure that you apply to the University of Colorado Anschutz (not the University of Colorado - Denver). Then scroll down and find the Integrated Nursing Pathway. There is an application fee of $60. You will also need to send a copy of all college transcripts to NursingCAS, as well as CCD.
You will need to submit a resume and two references (names and email addresses) for contact by NursingCAS, one of which needs to be an academic reference. You also need to request a letter of reference from each of your references which they will upload into the email that they receive from NursingCAS. You will also need to submit a 500-word essay written in your own words, which addresses all three of the following prompts: 1) Describe your perceptions and attitude about nursing today. In your answer, identify current information about the field of nursing, including the commitments, expectations and career options; 2) What do you believe are the demands of nursing education and how have you prepared to make this significant change to your current situation; 3) Describe an experience or encounter that illustrates what you would bring to the INP program in terms of diversity and inclusion.
TOEFL and IELTS scores must be sent to CU College of Nursing when you register for these tests. AP, IB and CLEP scores only need to be sent to CCD and CU if they are not listed on a college transcript.
You must have official transcripts from all previous collegiate or other post-high school educational experiences such as trade schools, cosmetology schools, etc. sent to CCD for review, even if the classes are over 10-years old. The deadline for your materials to be received by the admissions department is March 31st. Allow for six to eight (6-8) weeks for documents to be processed. You will also need to send a copy of your transcripts to NursingCAS as part of the application process.
