We appreciate your interest in the LLCC Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) program. Upon successful completion of the LPN to ADN transition course, an LPN would be eligible to enter the second year of the ADN program. Graduates of the ADN program are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN examination, which is the state licensing examination for Registered Professional Nurses (RN). With our consistent student pass rate at approximately 90%, you can feel confident that we will prepare you to successfully pass this examination.

Our ADN program is approved by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN). The LPN to ADN Transition is offered in a hybrid format with some classroom and clinical time required.

Applications for the fall admission cycle are accepted the first Monday in November through the last Thursday in May. Applications for the spring admission cycle are accepted the first Monday in June through the last Friday in October. No late applications are accepted.

To help ensure that students are successful, our program uses a selective admission process. Please note that applicants must complete this selective admission process in addition to the LLCC general enrollment steps. To prepare for applying to the program, please follow the LPN to ADN application steps.

If you have questions regarding program admission requirements or how to apply, please call LLCC Student Success at 217-786-2224 and request to speak with a health professions student success advisor.
