Application Process
The GW School of Nursing participates in the online NursingCAS application system (Nursing Central Application Service). All applicants must submit NursingCAS and GW Supplemental applications to the Office of Admissions for consideration to any nursing programs. Please go to http://www.nursingcas.org/ to begin the NursingCAS and https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=gwu-smhs for the GW supplemental application.

The fee for using NursingCAS is based on the number of programs the applicant designates. A limited number of application fee waivers are available. Meeting NursingCAS’ eligibility criterion for a fee waiver does not guarantee a waiver will be granted for supplemental application fees.

Any questions regarding the application form, the admissions process, or application deadlines should be addressed to:
