Nursing Admissions Information

All Applications, Medical/Felony Forms, and Sealed & Signed Personal Reference** Envelopes must be received IN A SEALED ENVELOPE with your full name and student i.d. number written on the outside of the envelope. Please include all required documents in one sealed envelope.

Applications may be mailed to the College or dropped off (sealed, as noted above) in the locked drop-box located outside the Division Office, B1222. Applications received by May 15 will be considered for Fall admission, while applications received by Oct. 15 will be considered for Spring admission.

**Personal Reference Forms may still be mailed directly to the Health & Education Division Office by the reference giver. Or, they may be returned to the applicant in a sealed envelope with reference giver’s signature across the seal. If the applicant submits sealed references, it must be included in the application envelope.

Residency criteria: Chapter 122, Section 103-17 of the Illinois Public Community College Act requires that, whenever enrollment in a program must be restricted because of space limitations, a college must give preference to district residents.  Consequently, admission to Kishwaukee College Nursing and Allied Health Professions programs for students who live outside of Kishwaukee College district #528 vary per program based on space availability and qualified applicant pools.
