Admission Update
The TCC Nursing Program is dedicated to student success and serving our community. The program is reviewing our admissions criteria and considering a more holistic admissions process. We welcome feedback from the public on this process which can be submitted at the following link: Nursing Program Admission Process Feedback until August 15, 2023. The program will not respond to individual comments, however all comments will be reviewed and taken into consideration. The anticipated implementation date is for the Fall 2024 cohort admission cycle (from June 1st to July 1st, 2024). No decisions or changes have been identified at this time. All program updates will be posted here! Thank you for your patience and interest in the nursing program.
Any LPN interested in attending the Tacoma Community College LPN to RN Bridge program for January 2024 are encouraged to apply before the deadline, even if all of the admission requirements will not be met by December 2023.
During the time that we are revising the admission process and standards, all applications submitted for the January 2024 LPN to RN cohort will be considered. This includes applications that are missing a few pre-requisites, exceed the retake policy, have TEAS scores that are below the required minimum, and LPN licensing that may be slightly delayed.
