Open questions we're still checking
- Tuition is only available through an interactive wizard; no per-credit rate or total is published on the pages checked.
- Start-date years are not given ('November 2nd', 'January 11th'); only the Minneapolis campus page was fetched, and other campuses may differ.
- Campus list: 10 campuses in the Locations section and inquiry form vs 8 in the FAQ on the same page (the FAQ omits Atlanta and New Orleans).
- No prerequisite courses are required for admission; whether any transferred science course must meet a recency, pass/fail or AP/CLEP rule is not published (the academic catalog was not fetched).
- TEAS attempt limits, sub-score minimums and score recency are not stated; what happens below a 2.50 cumulative GPA is not addressed beyond an FAQ inviting advisor contact.
- The roster lists Herzing per campus (Orlando, New Orleans, Minneapolis, Nashville, Brookfield, Kenosha, Madison); this single file carries those names as aliases and uses WI as the institution state, so stubs in other states may still show until campus-level files exist.

ABSNcheck summarizes requirements that schools publish on their own websites, with a link to each source and the date we last verified it. Schools change requirements, sometimes contradict themselves, and make individual decisions. Results show whether you meet published minimums; they are not an admission decision or a guarantee, and are not official advice from any school. Always confirm requirements with each program before you apply or enroll in a course.
