Wondering how your credits will transfer?
The Loretto Heights School of Nursing has a credit transfer policy aimed to ensure RNs with an associate’s degree are given the maximum amount of credit possible. Here’s how it works: If you graduated from a regionally accredited institution, completed an ADN program requiring a minimum of 66 semester hours and have a current license, you’re eligible for a lump sum transfer of at least 66 semester hours.
We highly encourage you to request an unofficial transcript evaluation. It's a free service and provides you with information about what will likely transfer to Regis University and what's left to complete your BSN. This is your best first step if you're contemplating going back to school to finish your BSN degree.
