If you are enrolled in an admission requirement course at or beyond the deadline:

Conditional admission will be considered for applicants who have completed three (3) or more admission requirement courses by the document deadline of March 1. Applicants who are enrolled in a remaining admission requirement course at or beyond the admission deadline may be offered conditional admission provided they are enrolled in the courses for which they have a deficit.

Applicants who have been admitted conditionally must satisfy all conditions outlined by the program including the completion of all admission requirement courses. An official transcript showing completion of these courses must be submitted to the University of Regina by June 30.

If you are an internationally educated nurse who does not have a current Canadian practicing license (i.e. LPN, RPN, RN, etc.), you cannot apply to the SCBScN program through the After Degree admission category.

Internationally educated and licensed registered nurses who have been educated outside Canada and have never been licensed as a registered nurse in Canada should contact the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses’ Association regarding requirements for licensure in Saskatchewan.

There is a non-refundable application fee of $100 which must be submitted with your application form. If you are applying online, payments can only be made using a credit card.

If you are a current or former University of Regina student, you are not required to pay this application fee; however, you must provide your University of Regina student identification number for verification and check off the box on the application form indicating that you are a current/former University of Regina student.

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.

Students must submit official transcripts from ALL post-secondary institutions attended for any length of time. Failure to disclose attendance at any post-secondary institution may lead to cancellation of your 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.

Applicants with a completed undergraduate degree may submit two separate applications to both the After Degree Nursing Program and the regular SCBScN Program as a post-secondary applicant (see “Apply as Post Secondary Student”). Applicants will only be considered for the program route they apply for. Applicants who earn admission to both programs, and choose to accept the After Degree Program seat, will be automatically removed from their SCBScN Program seat.

Students who are accepted to both programs may contact Nursing Student Services at (306) 337-3300, 1-855-830-3300 (toll free), or at nursing@uregina.ca with any questions.

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 with preference given to those who have completed a minimum of three (3) courses towards the admission requirements. All applications are considered; Canadian citizens and permanent residents are given preference.
