FAll 2025 BSN NursingCAS Application Information & Recommendations

  The Fall 2025 BSN Application opens on September 15, 2024 and will have two application phases. The Priority Phase will close on December 15, 2024. The General Phase will close on January 15, 2025. 

• Application Fees

  We require two application fees for the Fall 2024 BSN Application. The first fee will be for NursingCAS. This fee is $60 paid directly to NursingCAS through the NursingCAS application portal. To complete the application process, you must also submit a $25 non-refundable fee to TXST-Nursing at the conclusion of your Nursing CAS application. A link will be provided in the the specific BSN portion of the NURSING CAS application.  The total cost for the application is approximately $85.00.

• Application Requirements

  To fully submit your application, you will be required to complete 4 sections of the BSN Application. 

  • Section 1 - Biographic Information: Contact information, race/ethnicity, citizenship, etc.
  • Section 2 - Academic History: High school and college transcripts, college course transcript entry, etc.
  • Section 3 - Supporting Information: Work and volunteer experiences, licensures and certifications, leadership, service, and awards/achievements, experiences related directly to the healthcare field, etc. 
  • Section 4 – Custom BSN Application Requirements: This will include all our additional requirements such as uploading a PDF of your ATI-TEAS-Nursing Score Profile(s), prerequisite course matching, and supplemental questions specific to St. David’s School of Nursing and a link to pay the supplemental BSN application fee. 

• NursingCAS Additional tips and information

  • SS#: You may be asked to provide your SS# through the application portal. We highly recommend that you do not list this information on the site. We will be retrieving this information in a very secure way through our IT Security team, so you may omit this question on the application. 
  • Professional Transcript Entry (PTE): You may be asked to pay for Professional Transcript Entry. This is your choice, but we recommend not using this resource to avoid additional fees. This video may be helpful in entering your own transcripts:                        https://help.liaisonedu.com/Application_Materials/Transcripts/Transcript_Entry_Video
  • Transcripts: You will be required to submit an unofficial transcript. If you are a TXST student, you can access this document in your CatsWeb Student Portal. Simply login and go to your academic transcript. Once displayed you can select the ‘Print’ option and select the PDF option as your printer to save the document to your computer for upload into your BSN Application. This transcript and your degree audit are helpful tools to assist you with your transcript entry. For questions about this portion, you may also choose to get assistance from your academic advisor. If you are a transfer student, we highly recommend submitting all transcripts from any college you have attended in addition to your new TXST unofficial transcript once admitted to TXST.
