Moraine Valley Community College (MVCC) Acceptance Rate, GPA, and Admission Requirements

Moraine Valley's general admission is open-door, but Nursing, Respiratory Therapy, Radiologic Technology, Sleep Technology, and Health Information Technology are selective and limited-enrollment, and in-district applicants are seated ahead of out-of-district applicants in the same pool. If you live outside Community College District 524, confirm your residency status and realistic odds with an academic advisor before building your plan around one of these programs.

Moraine Valley states explicitly that incomplete Health Science applications will not be accepted or reviewed at all, not even partially - meaning a single missing document (a transcript, a test score) doesn't get you ranked lower, it gets your entire file set aside. Build a submission checklist with your advisor and confirm every required document has been received by the program office, not just submitted by you, before the deadline.

Acceptance into Nursing or another Health Science program triggers mandatory background screening, drug screening, physical exam, and vaccinations (including COVID-19) - and clinical affiliates, not just the college, set ongoing compliance standards you must maintain throughout the program. Start this paperwork immediately upon acceptance rather than waiting for orientation, since affiliate-driven requirements can take longer to clear than students expect.

The LPN-RN Bridge is a separate, selective, competitive pathway (not the standard Nursing AAS track) with its own application cycle - the next cohort begins spring 2027 with the one-semester NUR-199 transition course required before entering the third semester of the standard Nursing Program. If you're an LPN, apply for this bridge specifically rather than re-entering the program from the beginning.
