The School of Health Sciences uses the same online portal as the AACC application for the Registered Nursing application.
If you have already applied to AACC: You can log in with the personal email address and password you provided when you first applied to the college. If you have forgotten your login information, call the Technical Service Desk at 410-777-4357 for assistance. You may move on to step two.
If you have NOT applied to AACC: You must complete the AACC application before you can begin the Registered Nursing application. You will be directed to complete the AACC application immediately after creating your account.
NOTE: If you attended AACC in any capacity prior to 2013, you must complete the AACC application first.
Create an account and complete the AACC application first. Visit our How to Apply page for information.
The “Forgot your password?” function provided on the application portal login page will help.
Contact the Technical Service Desk at 410-777-4357.

To apply to the Registered Nursing program, you need a MyAACC email address as well as an AACC student identification number. Filling out the AACC application provides them.
If you do not remember your MyAACC username and/or AACC ID number, directions on how to access those items are available on the Password Management page.
Step Two: Complete the Registered Nursing application.
In the application portal, you can access the Registered Nursing program application by selecting “Create a New Application” under the My Account Tab OR by selecting the “Apply Online” tab at the top of the page.
Under the Apply Online tab, you should see two applications: the AACC application and the Registered Nursing program application. You will only have access to both applications if you have already completed your AACC application.
The Registered Nursing application allows applications for ONE entry term at a time. The button and language next to the button indicate the semester for which you are applying. Example: FA## or SP## Registered Nursing Program Application indicates that your application will be submitted for consideration for the Fall ### Spring #### term.
You can save your progress if you are not able to complete the application in one sitting. The next time you log in, on your My Account page, you must click on the Health Sciences-Registered Nursing Application hyperlink to resume your application.
ALL communications throughout the application process and review will be sent to your MyAACC email; check it regularly.
Registered Nursing Application Sections
Ensure the name you provide is what we have on record and that the same name is used throughout the application process.
AACC Username: This must be correct for you to receive communication about your application. If your MyAACC email is jsmith12@mymail.aacc.edu, your AACC username is jsmith12.
AACC ID Number: Enter this number carefully and double-check it before submitting your application. Your AACC ID number is seven digits, including any leading zeros (Example: 0123456). This number is required throughout the review process to verify the integrity of your application.
Fill out this section only if you wish to transfer existing registered nursing coursework from another institution. Otherwise, answer "No" and move forward to the third section of the application.
RN Course Transfer Verification of Standing: If you respond "Yes" in this section, along with supporting documentation of previous nursing program coursework completion, you must have your former director of nursing complete an RN Course Transfer Verification of Standing form found in the application portal.
It is important that you are accurate when you complete the application. Be sure to have your grades accessible before you begin to fill out this portion of your application to avoid errors. The grades that you put on your application are checked against transcripts and impact your overall score in the application review process.
Transcripts
Official college/university transcripts are required for courses taken outside of AACC to be evaluated; the records office will not accept unofficial transcripts. Official high school transcripts are required if you are using your high school chemistry grade to meet the chemistry requirement.
From the time you receive your official transcripts to the full review can take up to 21 business days. If there are issues with your transcripts, that information will be sent to your MyAACC email. Again, check it regularly.
Late submissions of transcripts or supplemental items are not accepted.
Applicants currently enrolled in prerequisite courses must enter their current course grade and submit the application by the established deadline. The application will not be reviewed until the final grade is recorded and will be considered on a space-available basis.
You do not need to submit transcripts for any academic requirements completed at AACC. The Health Sciences Admissions team has access to AACC transcripts.
When reporting coursework from another institution, provide the FULL title of that institution. No abbreviations.
ATI TEAS Test
Report your ATI TEAS Test score honestly. The Health Sciences Admissions team verifies scores directly on the ATI site.
The TEAS test must be completed by the application deadline. If you need to wait to take the TEAS, schedule it no later than one month prior to the application due date.
You must send the official TEAS transcript to AACC via your student ATI account.
If you have a Professional Healthcare Experience certification or licensure, submit appropriate documentation verifying a certification or licensure. Review the list of unacceptable uploads listed in the application before uploading your documentation.
Read thoroughly and respond honestly.
Review your application fully before submitting.
Step Three: Submit your application and supplemental documentation.
Selection for a fall semester start occurs in late May/early June.
Selection for a spring semester start occurs in mid- to late October.
Check in on the application portal to verify that your supplemental items and documents are submitted. To do this, log into the application portal and go to My Account, then select the Action Required alert.
Regularly check your MyAACC email for updates, communications, financial aid information and your application decision.
On the Supplemental Items and Documents dashboard, you will see a Submission Status of “Received” or “Not Received.” “Received” does not indicate acceptance or full review of the items.
Supplemental items are updated after the admissions team reviews your academic record and your Registered Nursing application. This is not an automatic process.
The reviewing process can take up to 21 business days. If you have confirmed with the records office that your official transcripts are on file, no further action is needed.
Any missing supplemental items at the time of review will be relayed via your AACC email with instructions. Once all items are received and reviewed, you will receive an email confirmation.
If you are a Registered Nursing transfer student, you must complete the following in the Supplemental Items and Documents dashboard on the application portal:
Nursing clinical evaluations
Nursing course outlines
Nursing course syllabi
Registered Nursing course transfer verification of standing
If your supplemental items documents are not submitted by the application deadline, you will receive a regret letter and must reapply.
