UCF/LSCC Concurrent ASN-BSN Program
General Information
The University of Central Florida (UCF) and Lake Sumter Community College (LSCC) have partnered to offer
students a unique way to achieve a Bachelor in Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. The UCF/LSCC Concurrent
ASN-BSN Program provides a dual-enrollment opportunity, allowing students to seek their Associate of
Science in Nursing (ASN) from LSCC, and their BSN from UCF, simultaneously. The LSCC courses are held
live at the LSCC Leesburg campus; UCF courses are initially held live at the LSCC Leesburg campus, but
gradually transition to online programming.
The LSCC ASN is completed over four academic semesters, not including summer. Throughout these four
semesters, the student is also enrolled concurrently in UCF RN-to-BSN courses. Once the student earns their
ASN from LSCC, they are eligible to sit for the NCLEX exam and seek employment. After passing the NCLEX
exam and becoming a licensed Registered Nurse (RN), the student can complete the remaining courses for the
UCF BSN. The student generally completes the UCF BSN within two or three semesters after completing the
LSCC ASN degree.

Yes. You must apply and be ACCEPTED as a student at both UCF and Lake Sumter. It is the student’s
responsibility to submit an application to both institutions, pay necessary fees, and ensure that transcripts
have been received prior to the application deadline for the nursing program. Although the student may
not have received formal acceptance letters from LSCC or UCF by the deadline for the nursing
application, the student file must be complete in order to render admission decisions, prior to
consideration for the UCF/LSCC Concurrent Program.

UCF’s application windows and deadlines for the Concurrent BSN program are published at
http://nursing.ucf.edu/admissions/ApplicationDeadlinesUG.asp

on how to do this are enclosed); this can be done up to two weeks prior to the application window
opening. The UCF Concurrent BSN nursing online application will be accepted during the published
application window; UCF will not accept applications after the deadline has passed.
3
What is the TEAS and where can I take it?
•
The TEAS is the Test of Essential Academic Skills. It is similar to the ACT exam and includes questions
on reading, math, science, and English language usage. There are 170 questions and it takes
approximately 3.5 hours to complete. Locally, it can be taken at the UCF testing center, Valencia
College, Daytona State College, Seminole State College and Brevard Community College, as well as at
any other ATI-approved testing centers. LSCC will offer limited test dates on their campus. The cost is
typically between $50-$65. You can find more information at www.atitesting.com
•
The UCF College of Nursing allows a student to take the TEAS three times in a calendar year, with 30
days between attempts. The most current version should be taken and the student should put their best,
adjusted individual total score and testing date on the UCF BSN application.
•
The UCF College of Nursing must receive a copy of your TEAS score report before you submit your
UCF Concurrent BSN application. Students must request an official TEAS score report be sent to UCF
College of Nursing by ATI. It is recommended that the student verify receipt of their TEAS score report
with the UCF College of Nursing, prior to the UCF/LSCC Concurrent Program application deadline.
TEAS score reports will not be accepted after the deadline.
What is the basis of applicant selection for the UCF/LSCC Concurrent nursing program?
•
Each applicant competes against the other applicants in terms of overall cumulative GPA, TEAS score,
and course pre-requisite GPA.
May I take general education, foreign language, or pre-requisite courses along with concurrent program
nursing courses, once I am accepted into the program?
•
No. All requirements must be completed prior to starting the concurrent program. This includes dual
majors, minors, and certificates.
Does the program offer a flexible schedule for classes?
•
No. The program is a lock-step program with a fixed schedule.
•
Nursing program hours are primarily day, but may be altered by faculty, room, and clinical-site
availability.
•
Students must have flexibility in their schedules, as they may find themselves needing to be available
nights and weekends, in addition to days and evenings, especially in regard to clinical placement.
Should I attend a UCF Nursing information Session prior to application?
•
Yes. While attendance at a UCF Nursing Information Session is not required prior to applying to the
nursing program, students will find the information to be invaluable during the application process.
•
Punctuality to these sessions is essential. You will NOT be permitted to come in once the session has
started.
Do I need to have a completed AA degree prior to applying to the program?
4
•
No, but it is strongly recommended. If you will not complete your AA degree prior to the beginning of
the concurrent nursing program, you must meet UCF’s general education requirement (36 specific credit
hours).
Will my financial aid be affected by being a UCF/LSCC Concurrent Student?
•
Yes. You cannot receive financial aid from two institutions, so it will be necessary for you to accept
financial aid only at LSCC.
•
Financial Aid will be calculated based on your LSCC credits first, then it will be added to, based on your
UCF credits.
•
Occasionally, students have experienced delays with disbursement. For this reason, students should be
prepared to pay their UCF tuition, if aid is not received in a timely fashion.
Is chemistry required for admission into the nursing program?
•
Not necessarily, but it is highly recommended. Students who have a background of general chemistry
tend to perform much better in the nursing program.
Can I apply to the program if I am an international student on an F-1 or J-1 VISA?
•
No, the Concurrent nursing program cannot accommodate international students on an F-1 or J-1 VISA
because the UCF curriculum progresses to online formatting, which falls outside of the F-1 VISA
criteria.
How am I notified of the admission decision for the Concurrent Program?
•
Admission decisions for Concurrent are emailed to the email address that the student provides on their
UCF online nursing application within 6-8 weeks after the application deadline of an admission cycle.
•
The decision will reflect one of the following: provisionally accepted, waitlisted, or that the class is full.
•
Students who are waitlisted could receive notification that their status is changed from waitlisted to
provisionally accepted up until a few weeks prior to the beginning of the semester the student applied
for. Waitlists are not retained from admission cycle to admission cycle; applicants must reapply for
consideration.
•
Students will also be notified of their acceptance to the ASN program, as per the policy of that program.
Can I transfer between UCF Nursing Programs or Program Locations?
•
Transfer between campuses or UCF nursing programs is not permitted.
