Nursing Transfer Students: Admission to the UMaine Nursing program is very competitive.  Admission is based on achievement in specific courses related to UMaine’s nursing curriculum, the cumulative grade point average from all colleges and universities attended and space available in the program.  Questions about the application process should be directed to the Office of Admission.  Please note that because of the course sequencing in the UMaine Nursing program, it is not unusual for an extra semester of academic work at UMaine to be required for students transferring into the Nursing program, resulting in a December graduation date.
