RN Application 2025-2027
Thank you for your interest in UCC’s Registered Nursing (RN) program. We are excited to work with you through the application process. Please make sure that you follow these important first steps:
Please know that we continue to navigate COVID-19. Flexibility is key as daily, weekly, and monthly changes have been a common theme for UCC RN program students and staff. The UCC Nursing Team continues to advocate for an exceptional educational experience and works closely with community partners to promote safety in the clinical setting.
Students should understand that although co-admitted to the Oregon Health Sciences University School of Nursing, those who choose to transition from the UCC Nursing Program to OHSU will have to undergo a background history check for OHSU at the time of transition, which may affect the ability to enroll at OHSU.
Before enrolling in the Registered Nursing program, students should consider whether the license they need to obtain to work will be valid outside the state of Oregon. Upon completion of the Program, it is the student’s responsibility to apply for licensure. When applying for licensure, students will be subject to fingerprinting and a background check again. Details of felony convictions, parole provisions, drug and/or alcohol abuse history must also be reported. Failure to report this information constitutes fraud and will result in that person not being permitted to sit for the Licensing Exam or loss of license if the non-disclosure is discovered after the license has been issued. Student applicants shall be informed before admission that the Board has limits on eligibility for licensure, as defined in OAR 851-031. Ultimately, licensure may be denied to graduates with a criminal offense and those with a major physical or mental condition that could affect the individual’s ability to practice nursing safely. Completion of the UCC Nursing Program (RN and/or PN) does not guarantee licensure. For additional information, please contact:

| Disclaimer – Incorrectly titled transcripts (not designated as “Nursing”) may not be sorted accurately or processed in a timely manner. Transfer coursework from Foreign Institutions – These official transcripts must be evaluated by the application deadline by an outside credential evaluation service. The evaluation company must be either AACRAO Foreign Education Credential Service or a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). For a list of NACES memberships, please refer to their web site at www.naces.org.
