CastleBranch
Students admitted into USI’s BSN program are required to purchase and complete all CastleBranch requirements one week prior to the start of spring semester. Students who have not completed the CastleBranch requirements by the due date will not be admitted into the BSN program and will be administratively removed from the spring nursing courses (NURS 246, NURS 247, NURS 251).
Submission and verification of all required documents is through CastleBranch. Students are responsible for updating all required documents throughout the program.
The number of students admitted to the nursing program is limited by the availability of instructional resources and clinical learning sites.
