Which Wyoming nursing programmes take online A&P labs? How to ask before you enrol
By the team. Checked 15 Nov 2026.
The short answer
No Wyoming nursing programme we checked says publicly that it will count an online A&P lab. LCCC asks for a full A&P sequence, usually at 2000 level, with C or higher, from a regionally accredited college. The only safe route is to email your programme with the course details and get a written answer.
What the schools say in public
Neither LCCC's nursing FAQ nor Western Wyoming's nursing page says whether an online anatomy and physiology lab will count. What they do say narrows the question.
| School | A&P requirement | Other points |
|---|---|---|
| LCCC | ZOO 2010 or ZOO 2015 sequence, usually 200 or 2000 level | One course from each of two sequences does not count; C or higher |
| Western Wyoming | BIOL 2010 Human Anatomy and Physiology 1 | Programme labs and clinicals are face-to-face on the main campus |
| UW ReNEW BSN | Human Anatomy and Human Physiology needed before Pathopharmacology | C or better in related coursework |
Why the lab is the hard part
Schools treat a science lab as hands-on work. An online lab uses kits, virtual dissection or simulation instead of a campus lab room, and programmes differ on whether that is enough. LCCC also says it takes transfer work from regionally accredited institutions, so a course has to be on a college transcript before LCCC sees it.
Our A&P I and A&P II each come as a 3-credit lecture and a 2-credit lab, and both carry an NCCRS recommendation only. Some schools will not consider an NCCRS-recommended science. That is exactly what you need to ask.
The email to send your programme
Write to the nursing advisor, not general admissions. Keep it short and give them what they need to answer.
- The course name and that it carries an NCCRS credit recommendation (3 credits lecture, 2 credits lab).
- How the lab is done, and attach the syllabus.
- Which of your prerequisites you want it to meet, by course number (for example ZOO 2010 or BIOL 2010).
- Whether it would need to come on a college transcript first, and from which kind of college.
- What grade is needed and whether the course level matters.
If the answer is no
Then take A&P at a college. At Central Wyoming College the 2026-2027 Wyoming resident rate is $171.50 per credit, so a 4-credit A&P course is about $686 before books and lab fees. You can still use online courses for general education, such as statistics, psychology or composition, if the programme or the college that holds your transcript will consider them.
If the answer is yes
Keep the email. Ask whether the course must come via a college transcript and, if so, pick a college that considers ACE-recommended or NCCRS-recommended credit, such as our partner colleges TESU and UoPeople. Get that college's written answer too. Then study, send the record, and have the college send its transcript to the nursing programme. Take both halves of the sequence the same way, since LCCC says mixing sequences does not count.
What to ask in writing
Before you enrol
Ask your nursing programme's advisor in writing about each course, including any online lab, and keep the written answer 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 LCCC count an A&P course from another college?
LCCC takes lower-division college-level work from regionally accredited institutions with a C or higher. It says A&P usually needs to be at 200 or 2000 level and both courses must come from one sequence. Ask its nursing advisor about any particular course.
Are Western Wyoming nursing labs online?
Western Wyoming's nursing programme is hybrid for classroom work, but its page says lab and clinical experiences are face-to-face on the main campus and students travel for lab, clinical and simulation. That is the programme's own lab, separate from the A&P prerequisite.
Can I mix A&P I from one place and A&P II from another?
LCCC says taking one course from each of two A&P sequences will not fulfil the requirement. Plan to take both halves from the same sequence, and ask your own school in writing if you already have one half.
