University of Windsor nursing student guide: the collaborative Honours BScN
What the school offers (nursing)
- Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN), Honours, a four-year degree delivered collaboratively with St. Clair College (Windsor and Chatham campuses). The nursing page explains the split: students admitted to the University of Windsor take all four years there, while students admitted to St. Clair complete years one and two at the college and years three and four at the University.
- The page lists the Ontario secondary school courses required for entry, including ENG4U, SBIO4U, SCH4U and Grade 12 math, and a separate transfer route with its own average and March 1 deadline for fall admission.
- A history page says the collaborative program began in 2001 and was designed to meet the baccalaureate entry-to-practice requirement for registered nurses in Ontario that took effect on January 1, 2005.
Becoming licensed after graduating
In Ontario, nurses register with the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO). The Windsor program page says graduates are eligible to write the NCLEX and/or pursue graduate studies. CNO’s guide for Ontario graduates says registered nurse applicants must complete an approved program, pass the NCLEX-RN and a jurisprudence exam. Confirm current requirements with CNO.
How to apply
The page says Ontario high school students apply through the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC), and that external applicants use separate pathways described on the same page. Check the current requirements and deadlines with the Faculty of Nursing.
How Fiabita’s Study Lab can help students here
Study Lab is independent and not affiliated with the University of Windsor or St. Clair College. You can upload your own notes and slides to generate quizzes and flashcards, and rehearse documentation and handoff wording. AI-generated content can contain errors, so check it against your course material.
