Nursing Programs

All active duty service members applying to UWF's nursing program in conjunction with a commissioning program application (AECP, MECP, NECP).

Program Details

Applicants must complete two applications, one to the University and one to the UWF Usha Kundu College of Health:

First application – apply to UWF by completing the online application (military applicants do not use CAS) and selecting the BSN degree program. Have your official transcripts (including JST) sent to admissions@uwf.edu.
- The application fee is $30, creates student account and official degree audit/plan.
- Applicants are accepted into the program in a pending status.
- Applicants will be able to continue completion of general education or prerequisite courses while in this phase of the program.
- Plan for 6 to 8 weeks to complete this process, as it depends upon the receipt of all official transcripts.
Second application – apply for formal acceptance to the UWF Usha Kundu College of Health Dr. D.W. McMillan BSN Nursing Program by submitting a supplemental application package. This is the program that contains the enlisted commissioning program seats.
- UWF Supplemental BSN Application form
- Core Performance form
- Hepatitis B Form (required for supplemental package)
- Unofficial transcripts
- ATI Teas 7th Edition

The academic advisor for the military students who are applying to the BSM program through one of the nurse commissioning programs is Ms. Fiona Mowbray. Applicants should only schedule advising appointments with Ms. Mowbray.
The process of being formally accepted to the College of Health BSN program (Step 2 above) relies upon the information obtained in the process of being accepted into the University (Step 1 above). The University is not able to consider supplemental applications from applicants who fail to complete the Step 1 Admissions process prior to the end date to receive supplemental applications.
Applicants whose supplemental applications are accepted will receive acceptance letters and degree plans for inclusion in their enlistment commissioning packages to the military service.
The limited access portion of the program is accelerated in that it will complete in 4 full consecutive semesters (typically 16 months).
To determine if and how courses already taken will transfer, please use the UWF Course Transfer Checker.
For assistance obtaining Academic Advisor approved forms to assist military education center TA approval, please email your request to militarynurse@uwf.edu and include the other institution full name with course name and number, and the UWF course it is intended to transfer to.
