If you have an active Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) certification, you will need to request documentation be sent to Capella University for admission review. If you do not have an active APRN, this will be removed after review of the APRN License Background Form. Please give 2 business days after submission of that form, before contacting your Enrollment Counselor to have this removed.

Requesting Verification of Board Certification:

Navigate to your respective board certifying agency where you are currently board-certified. Examples include (but are not limited to) American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Board (aanpcert.org).
Locate information on “verification of board- certification.”
Request that verification of your board certification be sent to Capella University, ascertain whether the board requires a physical or email address.
- To be emailed: send to documents@capella.edu
- To be mailed: send to Capella University - Mpls, PO Box 211563, Dallas TX 75211
There may be a fee associated with this, see board’s website for details.
The process can take approximately one week.

This item will move to Completed once Capella University receives your documentation per email or mailing option. Note: it could take 1-2 business days to be marked completed after receipt.
