Advanced Placement Admissions

Advanced Placement Admissions (Nursing, LPN, RN)

Application Period: July – September

The Advanced Placement Associate Degree Nursing Program is for students that hold a current, unrestricted license to practice as a Practical Nurse in North Carolina and have graduated from an accredited program. This is a three semester program starting in the spring semester.  Prospective students must apply during the appropriate dates during the fall semester they wish to enter the program.  Graduates of this program will be eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) which is required to practice as a Registered Nurse. Because of limited enrollment, students must complete an admissions process that determines which students will be accepted into the program.

  1.  Submit a current MCC Application for Admission.  Current students DO NOT need to complete a new application.
  2. Review the Advanced Placement Admissions Packet and submit an Advanced Placement for Nursing Application.  Please use a valid email address that you check often for the application. All communication concerning your application and admittance will occur via email.
