Application deadlines and start dates

Upcoming cycles Queens University of Charlotte publishes. A date without a year on the school's page is noted rather than guessed.

Spring 2027 startDeadline Nov 15, 2026The program page says the application is currently available but gives no open date. The 2026-2027 catalog's Graduate and ABSN Academic Calendar lists Spring Semester 2027 'January 11 Full semester and Session I classes begin'. That is the likely start date, but the program page does not confirm it. Decisions are typically released within six weeks of the deadline.

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.
