Readmissions

If you previously attended Galen and experienced a break in enrollment for any reason, apply for readmission into your program of study.  

Email the Readmissions staff with questions.

Transcripts: Submit official transcripts to be evaluated for transfer credit by contacting Readmissions. If you attended another college since leaving Galen College of Nursing, check on TES^® to see if any of your courses qualify for transfer or explore resources on how to order a transcript.

Please note, courses previously attempted at Galen cannot be transferred.

Complete Financial Aid Paperwork: If you are planning to use Financial Aid, submit all items on the Financial Aid Checklist and any other documents the Financial Aid department requests. Galen’s school code for the FAFSA is 015924. Please note, if you are not planning to use federal financial aid, contact your Readmission advisor for your next steps.

Contact our Readmission advisors with any questions. We want your process to be as smooth as possible.

Your application will be carefully reviewed by the Readmission Committee and Program Administration to determine eligibility to return. Review timelines vary by campus and term.

The Readmission team will be in touch as soon as a decision is made.

Note: Readmission Acceptance is dependent upon program and seat capacity availability.
