BSN Acceptance
Congratulations on your conditional acceptance to the BSN program at the University of South Alabama!
The following information must be completed and submitted before you can be considered for unconditional acceptance into the College of Nursing program.
This web page contains a timeline from now until the first day of classes. If you follow this timeline and submit your completed paperwork by the due date, you will transition smoothly into our program. If you fail to comply with our requirements, we will give your spot to someone on our“waiting list”, so please do not allow that to happen.
We accepted you, because we believe you have the potential to be successful in our program and become a Registered Nurse!
E-Mail Requirement
We strive to give our students the best possible service and to respond to your questions and requests in a timely manner. In order for us to do so, we require that all College of Nursing students communicate with faculty and staff using only their JagMail email account which is provided to all University of South Alabama students. Using your JagMail email account helps us better track your email, respond in a timely manner, and it also ensures that email we send to you isn’t misplaced or lost by a SPAM filter. If you send us an email from a non-JagMail email account from this moment forward, we will politely remind you to send your request from your JagMail email account. Additionally, we can help process your email questions and requests much faster when your name and JAG number are included in every email you send us. Please view the following link for directions on activating your JagMail email account.
