College Placment Testing

Placement testing is required for students without recent (within the last three years) ACT or SAT scores. The results of the Accuplacer test help place students in appropriate level courses. Accuplacer scores from other institutions may be submitted if they are from the same battery of tests used by Donnelly College and the scores are no more than three years old. For more information on testing hours, placement into college courses and more resources for studying, click here.

Important Licensure Information: 

Graduating from a Donnelly College nursing program does not guarantee licensure. Licensure in the State of Kansas is a separate process that requires testing and application to the Kansas State Board of Nursing. For additional information you can contact the Donnelly College Nursing Department or Kansas State Board of Nursing. For additional information, review K.S.A. 65-1120 from the KS Nurse Practice Act for potential barriers to licensure.
