Nursing CAS logo

✓ Norwich University is now processing applications through NursingCAS, an online application designed to simplify the nursing school admissions process.

Because of COVID-19’s effect on the availability of standardized-testing, Norwich University will be waiving the requirement for SAT or ACT exams for students applying to our undergraduate Nursing program for fall 2021 admission.

You may also apply through the Norwich App or Common App.
