Important Notice for Applicants Applying to Entry-Level Master's Programs for Non-RNs

The Entry-Level Master's Programs are listed as designations on the Graduate Application Now

If you already e-submitted, paid, and applied to an entry-level master's program prior to 9/1/2011, while the designations were still listed on the undergraduate application there is no need to be concerned. Your application will still be reviewed by your designated program(s). You do not need to change your profile information.
 
However, if you created your NursingCAS account between 8/15/2011 and 9/2/2011 or if you are a re-applicant and you have not yet e-submited your application then you will need to change your profile information if you want to apply to an Entry-Level Master's program at the following universities: 
  • Rush University
  • University of San Diego
  • University of Toledo
  • University of Tennessee Health Science Center
  • University of Vermont
  • Western University of Health Sciences

When you created your NursingCAS account, if you selected "No" to the question "Are you applying to a graduate level program in nursing?" you will need to change your answer to "Yes" in order to access the Entry-Level Master's designations for the schools listed above.

Please login to your NursingCAS application here: https://portal.nursingcas.org/.

Once you have logged in, please visit the "My Profile" section of your application: https://portal.nursingcas.org/?rm=account_profile. Scroll down to the last section, titled "Additional Information" and change your answer selection to "Yes" for the question "Are you applying to a graduate level program in nursing?" and hit "Submit".

You will then be prompted to enter in your password and security question and answer. Please hit "Submit" again and all of your application information will be carried over to the Graduate Application and you will be able to make the appropriate designation selections.

Please note that when you change your profile information you will only be able to apply to graduate degree programs (including the Entry-Level Master's designations). NursingCAS does not allow one application to apply to both Undergraduate and Graduate programs, it must be one or the other.

If you are having trouble with this or have any questions please contact NursingCAS Customer Service at 617-612-2880 or nursingcasinfo@nursingcas.org for assistance.
