Admissions
Admissions at Unitek College
- No acceptance or admission rate (%) is publicly stated on official Unitek College (.edu) pages. No verified statistics such as overall admit percentage, cohort acceptance rate, or selectivity were located.
- Regarding minimum GPA, TEAS/HESI thresholds, prerequisites, or waitlist notes:
- General nursing GPA requirement: A blog post on Unitek’s site notes that nursing program GPA requirements “generally land between 2.0 and 3.0 depending on your specific course or program.”
- For the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program (hybrid), admissions requirements include:
- Submission of proof of high school education or equivalent
- A score of at least 19 on the Scholastic Level Exam – Q (SLE‑Q) to begin the application and ranking process
- Submission of a government‑issued photo ID
- A minimum score of 58.7% on the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS)
- Completion of a background check and drug screen before clinicals
- Completion of all financing arrangements
- For the hybrid BSN program specifically (Concord campus), the same TEAS threshold of 58.7% and SLE‑Q score of 19 are confirmed. Additional steps (ID, background/drug screening, financing, proof of education) are also required.
- The general admissions requirements page indicates that programs requiring entrance exams follow a retake policy (first fail: retake same day; second: wait 7 days; third: wait 21 days; after four failures: must re‑apply after one year). While not program‑specific, this applies to nursing entrance exams.
