* Note regarding AP and other special credit:

  • You may use up to a total of two AP, IB, or IU special credit courses (total of no more than 6 credits) on your Nursing application.
  • One of these courses can be credit that counts toward your Science GPA (the science courses that go on the Nursing application);
  • And/or one can be credit that counts toward other courses on the Nursing application. Be sure to take any IU special credit exams (e.g., biology, calculus) through which you think there is even a chance you could earn credit.
  • During your summer Orientation advising appointment, your advisor can then tell you whether or not you have indeed earned such credit through IU.

Remember: At whatever point you take human anatomy, be sure to follow and fulfill all of the Human Anatomy (ANAT-A 215) Study Tips.
