Summer and Autumn Semester 2025
The nursing coursework is sequential in nature and classes must be taken in a particular order. We have provided a list of the Summer 2025 and Autumn 2025 courses you are expected to enroll in. The course number is provided for you so you can search and add a course by using this number. Please note that 12 credit hours is considered full time and general education coursework is also required for the LPN-BSN program. Students with a previous Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or Bachelor’s degree should inform their academic advisor as it relates to General Education requirements.
Please note: Students may enroll in classes 24-48 hours after accepting their offer of admission. This allows time for the system to update your major to allow you to schedule for nursing major coursework. You may also need to remove any holds that are on your account. For additional questions regarding scheduling please email con-advising@osu.edu.
