Eastern Wyoming College Nursing Program Grade Point Average (GPA) Calculation
An ADN program GPA of 2.5 will be the minimum GPA to apply to the EWC Nursing Program. EWC will only calculate the nursing program prerequisite and corequisite courses to include the ReNEW requirements from the University of Wyoming as indicated below. All but PHCY 3450-Pathophysiology and PHCY 4470 Pharmacology can be taken at EWC. Students must also complete or be in the process of completing the prerequisite classes prior to full admission with all courses combined with a grade of “C” or better. Midterm grades will be accessed and used for program GPA for those completing the prerequisites and must be completed by May prior to fall admission. Successful completion of the prerequisites will be required at the end of the semester for conditional
enrollment. Anatomy and Physiology must have been taken within 5 years of applying unless special permission is granted by the Nursing Director.
