Application deadlines and start dates

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

Fall semester start · JacksonRolling admissionDeadline printed as June 30 with no year, so no date is recorded. The page also says acceptance is on a rolling basis. The page's cost section refers to the 2026-27 academic year, so the deadline may be for 2026, but the page does not say.

  • Application deadlines (June 30 for fall, November 30 for spring) are printed without a year, so no dated cycles are recorded.
  • No prerequisite courses, minimum GPA, entrance exam, or other admission criteria appear on the pages provided. The 2026-27 catalogue entries (Second Bachelors Degree and First Bachelors Degree accelerated tracks) and the 2026-27 BSN Student Handbook are linked but were not provided.
  • The program page does not say whether a completed bachelor's degree is required, since it also links a 'First Bachelors Degree Accelerated Track' catalogue entry.
  • The application portal and application fee, and whether NursingCAS is used, are not stated. The program page only has an 'Apply' button.
  • The admissions and adult studies pages provided do not cover the ABSN program, and the privacy policy page is not relevant to admission requirements.
  • No dedicated prerequisites or admissions requirements page for the ABSN was in the provided pages (only the program page, a general admissions landing page, an adult-studies page and a privacy policy), so prerequisite courses, GPA minimums, grades and application steps are not published here.
  • All deadlines (June 30, November 30) are printed without a year, so no calendar dates were recorded.
  • The program page links both a 'Second Bachelors Degree Accelerated Track' and a 'First Bachelors Degree Accelerated Track' catalogue. Which track applies to a second-degree applicant, and any degree requirement, is not stated on the page text provided.
  • The application portal URL and whether NursingCAS is used are not stated.
  • Program start dates, application opening dates and the CNA or healthcare experience, interview, essay and recommendation requirements are not stated.

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.
