ADMISSIONS
Our rolling admission process begins in November 2024 for the class beginning in the fall of 2025. The VCTC Practical Nursing Program is a selective application-based program limited to 25 students each fall. Based on the number of qualified applicants yearly, the program may be able to reserve a select number of seats for qualified accelerated June applicants who have learned that they have not been accepted into local RN programs for the fall. These applicants will have an opportunity to apply between June 1st and June 15th.
