Applicants must complete the following steps to be considered for admission:

• Submit an FIU application for graduate studies.  Complete the application online by visiting FIU's website at the FIU Graduate Online Application 
  • NOTE: Complete and submit the FIU application BEFORE requesting transcripts. 
     
• Submit a College of Nursing and Health Sciences application for graduate nursing studies.  An application can be obtained from the FIU College of Nursing and Health Sciences, Graduate Nursing Program, HLS 2 Room 485, 11200 SW 8th St., Miami, FL 33199. Call 305-348-7703. 
  • NOTE: Complete and submit the FIU application BEFORE completing and submitting the CNHS application.
     
• NOTE:  Applicants for the MSN Anesthesiology Nursing are required to complete a separate Admissions Application.  Special admissions deadlines and criteria apply. DOWNLOAD the MSN Anesthesiology Nursing Program Application Packet, or request an application by contacting: FIU College of Nursing and Health Sciences, University Park Campus, Anesthesiology Nursing Program, HLS 2 Room 656, 11200 SW 8th St., Miami, FL 33199. PH 305-348-7747.
   
• In addition to the University and College of Nursing and Health Sciences applications, the applicant must submit official copies of all transcripts from each university, college or school of nursing attended. These transcripts should cover all academic work completed to date.  In addition to transcripts, send test scores and other supporting documents to the:
  • FIU Graduate Admissions Office, P.O. Box 659004, Miami, Florida 33265-9004.
  • FIU College of Nursing and Health Sciences, University Park Campus, Graduate Nursing Program, HLS 2 Room 485, 11200 SW 8th St., Miami, FL 33199.  NOTE:  The transcript sent to the CNHS must be a "paper" transcript.
     
• After your file is complete (the College of Nursing and Health Sciences application and transcripts), make an individual advising appointment with the Director of Admissions and Student Services at the University Park Campus Campus.  Call (305) 348-7703 to make the appointment.  Bring copies of all transcripts to the advising appointment.
   
• If you would like to talk with a faculty member about a clinical specialty area, call (305) 348-7703 to make an appointment.  Although the faculty member can give you general information about the admission process, you must make an appointment with the Director of Admissions and Student Services for advisement related to your application. 

• The application file should be completed at least two weeks before registration.  Qualified applicants will be admitted as either degree-seeking status or non-degree seeking status students.
   
  • Degree-seeking status students: This category includes students who have been fully admitted to the MSN Program (does not include the Certificate programs).
  • Non-degree seeking status students: These students may be in the process of applying for the MSN Program and may enroll in selected MSN core courses. However, such enrollment must be approved by the Director for Admissions and Student Services on registration and must meet specific requirements. Although the non-degree seeking student may take as many as 12 credits of graduate courses, there is no guarantee that all credits can be applied toward graduation requirements if the student changes from non-degree seeking to degree-seeking status. This category includes all Certificate students. Refer to the FIU Graduate Catalog for further information on this topic.
     
• Financial assistance is available to graduate students through fellowships, assistantships, scholarships, and loans.  For general and current information on financial assistance, students should first access the FIU Financial Aid Office website: FIU Financial Aid   For information on financial assistance for graduatel students, click on the following link: FIU Graduate Student Financial Aid  For scholarships available through the University, click on the following link: FIU Scholarships  For nursing scholarships available through the CNHS, click on the following link: CNHS Nursing Scholarships
   
• Readmission
  Admitted degree-seeking students who have not enrolled at the University for one full academic year or more must contact the University Office of Admissions to apply for readmission.
