Documents
Please note: All applicants to the ADN program must sign the following acknowledgement. Students at any external sites or practicum are required to follow the business, local, state, and federal requirements. This may include vaccination requirements. Bellevue College does not make any guarantees of placement for practicum or external sites to students not fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Practicum facilities and businesses may deny not fully vaccinated students or students without a booster shot(s) access to their site which may result in an inability or delay to fulfill academic requirements. Alternatives to clinical work and site placements may not be available and these students may not be able to finish the program.

Unofficial Transcripts are uploaded to the application in the Academic History > Colleges Attended section of CommonAPP.
- Make sure to submit a transcript, not a course history or degree audit.
- Do not send any screenshots or photographs of transcripts.
- Official transcripts sent to BC Enrollment will not fulfill this requirement. Applications without attached unofficial transcripts will not be reviewed.

TEAS Score reports are uploaded to the application in the Program Materials > Documents > Test Score Report section of CommonAPP.

The Certification/Training Certificates of Completion are uploaded to the application in the Program Materials > Documents > Certification section of CommonAPP.
- NAC Certification is required for applicants who have completed their training at a for-profit location instead of a community/technical college.
Bellevue College Nursing AAS-T Academic Advisement Report

CPNW Clinical Passports are uploaded to the application in the Program Materials > Documents > Health Records section of CommonAPP.
- Fill out all information completely in the Clinical Passport before saving or uploading it to the application, as changes made after uploading it will not be saved.

AHA BLS/CPR Provider Card
Applicants must provide an unexpired BLS/CPR Card from the American Heart Association. The BLS/CPR ecard can be claimed by various methods on the AHA website.

Applicants who were part of the military and wish to qualify for points as a former military member or a medic/corpsman must provide documentation to show their status.

- Examples of military paperwork include:
- Honorable military discharge paperwork
- Current paperwork showing status and job/rank
Updated Unofficial Transcripts (for reapplying students)
Applicants reapplying to the ADN program may have retaken or taken additional classes before applying again. Since CommonAPP allows only minimal changes between applications, they may be unable to attach an updated unofficial transcript within the Academic History section. Applicants in this situation may attach an updated transcript containing the updated class/classes within the Program Materials section.
Updated Unofficial Transcripts are uploaded to the application in the Program Materials > Documents > Certification section of CommonAPP.
- Students who are applying for the first time should not attach any transcripts within Program Materials.
- Reapplying students should try to update their unofficial transcripts in Academic History first.
- Reapplying students should only submit updated unofficial transcripts within Program Materials if they cannot update them within Academic History.
- Only submit the transcript with the updated classes. Do not include all transcripts, as they would already have been submitted within Academic History.
