Upon Acceptance to the College
To accept an offer of admission, applicants need to submit a non-refundable $200 matriculation fee/deposit by the deposit deadline provided in the acceptance letter. Once paid, the deposit allows the student the ability to register for their admitted semester. The deposit is waived for RN-BSN students who completed the Associate in Science in Nursing program at Labouré College.
- Students who do not deposit for the semester in which they were accepted will be withdrawn and will need to reapply for a later semester if they wish to attend Labouré College.
- Students are required to submit all required forms concerning Student Health and Safety Requirements (background checks, health requirements, and health insurance) as described in the catalog.
New Student Registration Information
Before registration, students will need to complete the checklist provided in their acceptance packet which includes details on their pre-registration appointment and meeting their academic advisor.
Deposited students who have completed their checklist will have seven days to register once new student registration opens.
As new students register after current student registration, students will most likely not begin a professional nursing course their first semester at Labouré.
