Certification

I certify that, to the best of my knowledge, all of the information given on this application and
provided as support materials pertinent to this application (such as transcripts, letters of
recommendation, validation of observation experience, etc.) is correct and complete, and I
understand that any material omission or misinformation may void my admission or result in
dismissal. I understand that my application will not be processed or retained if deemed ineligible
or if not signed.

In asking for early acceptance to the BSN program at Southwest Baptist University, I voluntarily
agree, if admitted as a student, to uphold the ideals, standards, and regulations set forth by the
University and to respect the principles and traditions it upholds as a faith-based institution of
higher learning.

I understand that prior to May 1 of my senior year in high school, I must:

Apply and be accepted to SBU through the Office of Admissions
Submit the HSEA application to the BSN program online here.

I understand that if I am accepted into the BSN program, I must pay a non-refundable $200
deposit, prior to beginning the fall semester at SBU, to hold my seat that will be used towards
onboarding fees such as drug screen and background checks.

I understand that final eligibility for awarding the HSEA is established upon the completion of
all pre-requisite coursework, and maintenance of required GPAs.

I understand that successful completion of the BSN program does not ensure that I will
successfully receive licensure from the state board of nursing. A professional board examination
must be taken and passed, and evidence of good moral character must be demonstrated to the
licensing board. Students with history of criminal records seeking to obtain a license to practice
nursing may have to submit extra paperwork to the board of nursing that could delay or
jeopardize the application process.

I understand that I will be placed in clinical facilities in Bolivar and surrounding counties to
complete my nursing education. I am responsible for all program fees including uniform/supplies,
CPR, immunizations, and text/e-books.
