Pre-Nursing, Dental Hygiene and Transfer Students

If you are applying for pre-nursing, dental hygiene or a transfer student you must first:

• Apply to IU South Bend Admissions Office and be accepted.
• Have your high school and/or college transcripts sent to Admissions.
• You will be required to take a placement test.
• Please call the next day after taking your placement exam(s) to set up your registration appointment with an advisor at (574) 520-4571.
• Your advisor will help you with class registration and other information you will need in our pre-nursing program.
• Attend an IU South Bend campus Orientation**

The Division of Nursing and Health Professions provides new students an opportunity to familiarize themselves with academic policy and success strategies.  Orientation helps to insure a smooth transition into college life at IU South Bend and towards your chosen path in the health professions.

**Attendance at Orientation is mandatory.  Students who do not attend orientation will risk the chance of being administratively withdrawn from any classes.
