Which Connecticut nursing programmes take online A&P labs? How to ask before you enrol
By the team. Checked 15 Nov 2026.
The short answer
Two Connecticut programmes say online labs are fine in format. CT State accepts any course modality for lab science classes, and UConn's accelerated BS accepts in-person, online or hybrid labs for Chemistry and A&P. Neither page says which outside providers count, so ask the programme in writing, with the syllabus, before you pay for any course.
What Connecticut programmes publish about labs
Connecticut is more open about lab format than many states. CT State's selective admissions FAQ says it accepts any course modality for lab science classes and all other required classes, with Dental Hygiene as the one exception. UConn's CEIN checklist for the 2027 cohort says it will accept in-person, online or hybrid lab courses for Chemistry and Anatomy and Physiology.
That answers the format question. It does not answer the source question: who taught the course and which college transcript it sits on.
| Programme | A&P rule | Online lab |
|---|---|---|
| CT State Nursing A.S. | BIO 2111 and 2112, C+, within 5 years | Any modality, per FAQ |
| UConn CEIN accelerated BS | A&P I and II with lab, B-, within 8 years | In-person, online or hybrid |
Format and source are two separate questions
A programme can be happy with an online lab taught by a college and still refuse the same subject from an outside provider. UConn checks each course against its transfer credit equivalency site, and a course not on that site goes to nursing admissions by email. CT State asks students from outside colleges to send official transcripts and allow time for them to arrive.
So the question to ask is not 'do you take online labs?' but 'would you take this course, from this source, via this college transcript, for this prerequisite?'
The email to send before you enrol
Write to nursing admissions, not general admissions. Keep it short, attach the syllabus, and ask for a written reply.
- The course name, credit recommendation and whether it is lecture or lab
- The college that would post it on its transcript
- Your target programme and start term
- The question: would you take this course, via that college transcript, for your A&P I with lab prerequisite?
- A request for the answer in writing
Check the credit numbers too
UPI Study's Anatomy and Physiology courses carry an NCCRS recommendation only: 3 credits for each lecture and 2 credits for each lab, so 5 credits per half. Many college A&P courses are 4 credits with lab included. Ask whether a 3-plus-2 split matches the programme's course, or whether it wants the lecture and lab from one college in one term.
Also check the grade rule. CT State wants C+ or better in A&P and UConn wants B- or better, so ask how a grade from an outside course would appear on the college transcript.
How to read the answer you get back
A clear yes names the course, the prerequisite and the term. A conditional yes may depend on the college transcript, the grade shown, or the lecture and lab coming together. A no may apply only to one course, leaving others open.
Save every reply as a dated PDF with your application papers. If the reply is vague, ask one narrower follow-up question rather than a general one.
If the answer is no
A no on A&P still leaves room for general education. Statistics and English Composition are on the CT State list, and Statistics is on UConn's. Ask the same question for those. For A&P itself, CT State's own BIO 2111 and 2112 are the courses its nursing programme knows best.
What to ask in writing
Before you enrol
Ask your Connecticut nursing programme in writing, course by course, whether it would take each UPI Study course via a college transcript, including any online lab, before you enrol.
UPI Study is not a college and is not accredited. ACE and NCCRS review our courses and recommend credit; a college decides whether to give that credit and records it on its own transcript.
ACE and NCCRS have over 2,100 cooperating colleges that will consider accepting credits; the final decision is with the universities.
Questions people ask
Does CT State take online lab science courses for nursing?
CT State's selective admissions FAQ says it accepts any course modality for lab science classes and all other required classes, except for Dental Hygiene. That covers format. Ask the transfer office separately whether a course from an outside provider, posted on another college's transcript, would count for BIO 2111 or 2112.
Does UConn's accelerated nursing programme take online A&P labs?
UConn's CEIN checklist for the 2027 cohort says it will accept in-person, online or hybrid lab courses for Chemistry and A&P. It checks each course on its transfer equivalency site, and courses not listed there go to nursing admissions by email for review.
How many credits are UPI Study's A&P courses?
Each UPI Study Anatomy and Physiology lecture carries an NCCRS recommendation of 3 credits and each lab 2 credits. Those numbers are recommendations. A college decides what it posts on its transcript, and your nursing programme decides whether it takes that credit for its prerequisite.
