Applicants must successfully pass the HESI A2 and  NURS-1000 Introduction to Healthcare Concepts before being authorized to register for NURS-1010.  Due to compliance requirements and corresponding deadline for NURS-1010, students should plan to take these courses in different semesters at this time.  A student can take NURS-1000 in Fall and NURS-1010 in Spring, or NURS-1000 in Spring and NURS-1010 in Summer.

MATH-1140, MATH-1141, MATH-1200, MATH-1270, and MATH-1280 can no longer count towards fulfilling the college-level mathematics requirement.  These courses were re-classified as developmental mathematics by the state of Ohio in 2016.  Tri-C established a 5-year transitioning window for students who had completed these courses prior to 2016 to apply them towards meeting graduation requirements, which expired in Summer 2021. It is highly recommended to see a counselor to determine the appropriate math required for your current major.
