APRN Pre-Application Core Course Evaluation (PACE) Request
Through the APRN PACE review, faculty can submit courses in Advanced Pharmacology, Advanced Health Assessment, and Advanced Pathophysiology for evaluation against current ANCC certification eligibility criteria. This is a complimentary service to support faculty in preparing their students for certification success.
To request an ANCC APRN core course review, faculty can follow these steps:
- Submit a PACE request via the Core Course Review Survey.
- You'll need to include detailed course information along with primary source documentation (such as syllabi and course descriptions). All documents must reflect the course as it was at the time of student completion.
- Requests may be submitted either before or during a student’s enrollment in the program.
- Await review and response.
Once all required documentation is received, the ANCC Certification team will review the submission and provide an official letter with the course eligibility determination within two weeks.
