Aboriginal
The School of Nursing recognizes that Aboriginal Peoples are not represented adequately in the nursing profession and therefore welcomes their applications.
Eligible Aboriginal candidates may be admitted to the nursing program from one of the two paths:
- Aboriginal candidates who have successfully completed the program's admission requirements, and whose admission average has met the annual program admission average as determined by the Arthur Labatt Family School of Nursing and the University's Admission Office, will be considered for admission along with all other program applicants.
- Aboriginal candidates who have successfully completed the program's admission requirements, but whose overall average has NOT met the annual program admission average as determined by the Arthur Labatt Family School of Nursing and the University's Admission Office, will be considered on a discretionary basis to fill four seats (two seats at the UWO site and two seats at the Fanshawe College site) set aside for applicants in this latter category.
Submission of Applications for Admission
Current OSSD applicants should request application forms from their secondary school. All other applicants should contact the Office of the Registrar.
Applications for admission to the Western-Fanshawe Collaborative BScN Program must be submitted by February 15. Because of the large number of applicants, it is recommended that application be made early. The enrolment in this program is limited.
Admissions Appeals Procedure
Following the final date for application, applicants may file any supplementary information relevant to their application with the Registrar's Office.
Decisions of the Admissions Committee are final. Applicants may request a review of the decision of the Admissions Committee, provided that such a request is based upon significant new information, pertinent to the application and not available to the applicant prior to May 1. This request must be filed with the Dean's Office not later than 2 weeks after the issuance of the original decision.
