After we receive your Memorandum of Agreement, you will receive instructions to change your major. You will submit the major change request via your myUCF portal. The College of Nursing will review and approve your major change request if appropriate.
Once your major is changed to the correct BSN track, you will be able to register for BSN courses.
RN to BSN Students
You will be automatically admitted into the fully online RN-BSN track with reduced tuition and fees. If you plan to remain in the fully online BSN track, no action is needed.
However, if you would like to opt-out of the fully online major in order to take any face-to-face courses or use on-campus resources, you must submit a major change through your myUCF portal.

Within 24 hours of your major change, students in the Florida College System Concurrent ASN to BSN and students in the RN to BSN programs will have access to the UCF RN Communications Center. The center contains information regarding faculty advising, plans of study, frequently asked questions, and announcements.
To access the RN Communications Center, please login to webcourses and go to courses.
The RN Communications Center and Knights email are used for all formal communication. Since this is an online program, it is your responsibility to check webcourses and Knights email often. Failure to do this will not excuse you from missing deadlines.

If you do not have access to the RN Communications Center after 48 business hours of your major change, please contact your academic advisor.
As an online student, you are only required to complete the top section of the Immunization Form with UCF Student Health Services.
This includes your name, date of birth, UCF ID, phone, and orientation date (online). You must also then sign and date the middle section waiving the immunizations. You will not need to send copies of any immunization records. Just scan a copy of the signed form and upload it online to Med+Proctor (yellow button on top right). Med+Proctor is a third party that UCF has partnered with for immunization processing.
RN to BSN applicants must complete all 8 nursing prerequisites with a grade of “C” (2.0) or better before the program start date.
Florida College System Concurrent applicants must have completed all 8 nursing prerequisites prior to the application deadline.
Prior to starting an online BSN program, you must either:
- Meet the three UCF requirements: General Education Program, Gordon Rule, and Foreign Language Admission with no more than three courses outstanding in these areas prior to starting the BSN program, and these courses must be completed prior to taking 4000-level courses.
- OR complete the AA degree from a Florida public institution (*initial enrollment fall 2014 or later to meet the foreign language admission requirement).
- OR complete a bachelor’s degree from any regionally accredited institution
For applicable students, complete FAFSA and view the process through UCF Office of Financial Assistance.
- RN to BSN students: Enter the UCF FAFSA code. To learn more, visit the UCF Office of Student Financial Assistance.
- Concurrent students: Enter either the FAFSA Code from your state college. For assistance with the application, speak to your state college financial aid office. Concurrent students are ineligible to receive financial aid through UCF until after completing the ASN degree portion of their program.

BSN students must be physically located in a Nurse Licensure Compact state for the duration of their education.
UCF College of Nursing faculty are authorized to teach in Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) states. Due to nursing education restrictions imposed by non-NLC states, UCF is unable to offer courses, clinicals, or other educational services regardless of modality within non-NLC states. Should you be physically located within a non-NLC state for more than a vacation or brief visit, regardless of your legal state of residence or the type of license you have, you will be unable to apply or continue your nursing degree program at the UCF College of Nursing. This includes, but is not limited to, students accepting traveling nurse positions in a non-NLC state. Although Colorado is a NLC state, the UCF College of Nursing cannot enroll students who will complete clinical practice hours there due to Colorado statute requirements for worker’s compensation insurance coverage.
Students may contact the College of Nursing’s Assistant Dean of Students with any questions regarding non-NLC states.
