STEP 1
Go to http://www.eastms.edu/ and select the “Apply Now!” link to submit an online application
for admission to East Mississippi Community College. Acceptance to East Mississippi
Community College does not guarantee acceptance to the Practical Nursing program. Letters of
pending acceptance will come from the Director of Nursing and Allied Health.
STEP 2
Fill out an application for the School of Nursing (included in this packet). This application should
be returned via email at alliedhealth@eastms.edu. Make sure to include letters of
recommendation, letters of good standing from former nursing directors, and copy of CNA
certification if applicable.
STEP 3
Request transcripts to be sent to EMCC from all other educational institutions you have
attended- this include high school. (Transfer Request Form included in this packet). Make sure
you request transcripts from all schools attended.
STEP 4
Make sure your ACT scores (minimum composite score 16 with a subscore of 16 in Reading)
are on fil
e in the admissions office or schedule and take your ACT before the June 1
st
deadline.
Please note that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the deadline for the 2020 application is being
extended to June 15.
STEP 5
After the deadline you will be notified if you have been selected for pending admission. If you
accept a slot in the program, you will be sent an information packet to complete. EMCC does not
keep a wait list for admission. If you are not chosen for the program, you must reapply the next
time a class starts. It is your responsibility to be sure that all your paperwork is on file prior to
the deadline. Remember, just because you request a document to be sent to EMCC does not
mean that it was sent or received.
