Welcome to the application site for Vincennes University’s selective Health Sciences
and Nursing Programs. Admission is competitive for most programs and compliance with
all criteria does not guarantee acceptance to the selected program. We encourage applicants
to visit the VU catalog at www.vinu.edu/catalog or our website at www.vinu.edu/healthcareers to view admission criteria and program curriculum.
Please note that some programs have an extended application review process. The majority
of programs review applications October through June with notifications emailed at
various times. If you are applying for the AS Nursing or Practical Nursing Program
please visit www.vinu.edu/nursing for review time frames and application deadlines.
Step 1: Complete a Vincennes University application for admission. Your acceptance to Vincennes University is separate from admission to the College
of Health Science and Human Performance.
Step 2: Submit high school (or GED) transcript. High School transcripts may be sent to vuadmit@vinu.edu.
Official college transcripts, including transcripts for dual credit courses, must
be on file. College transcripts may be sent electronically to records@vinu.edu.
Step 3: If you do not have college transcripts with college credit for English Composition
and College Algebra (or higher-level math) you will need test scores on file. Appropriate
test scores include Accuplacer, SAT, and/or ACT.

NOTICE
Our programs will send official communications to students using the email address
you have provided on the application form. It is important that you continue to use
this email address or notify our office of any change.
Since email has been adopted as a primary mechanism for sending official communications
to students, students must check email regularly in order to read important messages and notifications. Certain communications may
be time-sensitive. Failure to read official University communications sent to the
student does not absolve the student from knowing and complying with the content of
those official communications. Students must also ensure that there is sufficient
space in their e-mail inboxes to allow email to be delivered and received. Be sure
that emails are not being sent to your junk mail/SPAM.
