Applicants to the School of Nursing and Health Sciences are expected to be capable of completing the entire nursing curriculum and of earning a B.S.N. degree. Nursing is a practice discipline with cognitive, sensory, affective, and psychomotor performance requirements. The school's technical standards provide an objective measure on which to base informed decisions about whether individual students will be able to participate in the nursing program. Technical standards also help students determine whether they will need accommodations or modifications in order to participate. Exemplars of

technical standards can be found in the B.S.N. Student Handbook available on the School of Nursing and Health Sciences webpage. Students with disabilities who believe that they may need assistance in meeting the core performance standards should contact the Kentucky State University Office of Educational Support.

Nursing students are charged the same tuition rate and general fees as students enrolled in other University programs. However, students accepted into the nursing major incur additional expenses related to clinical uniform requirements, summative and formative testing, official ceremonial regalia, association membership, and practicum equipment and materials.

Governing policies including policy on admission, retention, progression, dismissal and readmission for the School of Nursing and Health Sciences B.S.N. program can be found online in the B.S.N. Student Handbook on the School of Nursing and Health Sciences webpage.
