To find out more about the Nursing application process, please join us at one of our monthly information sessions.  Nursing Pre-Admission Advisors are available at these sessions and we allow time for individual questions.  The sessions typically last 1-2 hours.

FIRST STEPS OF ADMISSION PROCESS

1. Sort applicants into priority groups first.
2. Applicants with priority status are reviewed.
3. Priority applicants that meet minimum requirements are awarded points for admission criteria.
4. Those with highest point totals are offered admission.

Priority lists, point scales and individual point totals are kept confidential within the department.

PRIORITY GROUPS

91短视频 Nursing gives priority admission to the following three applicant groups, all considered equally:

• 91短视频 Students currently attending full-time (6.1 units or more) for at least the last two semesters at the time of application
• Local Admission Area transfer students with majority of units from public community colleges or universities in one of these six counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano.
• Current Military or Veterans with honorable discharge - submit DD214 with application

Applicants who are not in one of these three priority groups are not likely to be admitted due to the high volume of applications.

POINT CATEGORIES

REQUIRED CATEGORIES

After sorting applicants into priority groups, these three required categories are most important in our admission decisions

1. Minimum 3.00 Prerequisite GPA (based on submitted grades)   
   • If you have anywhere between a 3.60 – 4.00 prerequisite GPA, you will earn maximum points for this category
2. Minimum 70% TEAS Exam overall score 
   • Minimum 65% English and Reading subsections also
   • If you meet minimum subsection scores and earn anywhere between 80% - 100% for overall TEAS score, you will earn maximum points for this category.
3. Personal Statement (a few short-answer questions)  - final step in review process

OPTIONAL CATEGORIES

Candidates offered admission generally have at least one of these point categories in addition to competitive GPA/TEAS.

1. Health and Community Related Experience (paid or unpaid) 
2. Second Language Skills - speaking / reading proficiency in a language other than English

If you are in a priority student group with high GPA/TEAS, but do not have at least one of the optional point categories, you probably won't be admitted due to the high number of applicants and the competitive process.  

Once an applicant is identified as a priority applicant, here’s what happens next. 

1. Confirm priority applicants meet minimum 3.00 for all eight prerequisites (based on self-reported and automated GPA calculations), verify official TEAS scores were received and are above 70% overall and above 65% in Reading and English subsections
   
   
2. Deny applicants if TEAS or GPA is below minimum or if scores were not received
   
   
3. Add in optional point categories
   
   
4. Identify top tier applicants by point rankings and move them to the next stage of review
   
   
5. Deny applicants that earned lower points and did not make it to the top tier of applicant pool
   
   
6. Confirm science prerequisite GPA is above 3.00, confirm transcripts received on time, verify all prerequisites listed on application meet nursing program requirements, re-check final GPA and all point categories
   
   
7. Review and assign points for personal statement
   
   
8. Assign tie-break points if necessary
   
   
9. Send email offers of admission, waitlist, denial for all remaining candidates

TWO ONLINE APPLICATIONS

FALL Nursing Filing Period:  OCTOBER 1 - DECEMBER 15

SPRING Nursing Filing Period:  AUGUST 1 - AUGUST 31

Submit applications approximately a year in advance of when you want to begin the program.
 

FOLLOW THIS STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS

1. Submit university application for 91短视频 Nursing BS (CalState Apply) -  transfer students only for steps #1-3.  Do this well ahead of the deadline.

3. Activate NetID
4. Begin nursing application (NursingCAS)
5. Type NetID into required field in nursing application
6. Submit nursing application

 Directions below provide additional detail about each separate application.

APPLICATION #1  - UNIVERSITY APPLICATION -  (requires a fee - may apply for fee waiver) Submit well ahead of the deadline.

See  University Admission Deadlines  for fall and spring admission.

You must activate your NetID (for transfer students) or have a NetID already (if current student) in order to submit a nursing application.   Plan ahead so you still meet the nursing application deadline!

The university application is evaluated separately by the 91短视频 Admissions Office. Follow university deadlines for admission requirements. The university will notify you of university admission status after the Nursing Program evaluates and makes its decision.

Candidates who are currently attending 91短视频 need not complete an application for university admission UNLESS they will graduate in another major before the term when they would BEGIN the Nursing Program. For example, if applying for Fall 2024 admission, Cal State East Bay students must fill out a 91短视频 university application if they will graduate Fall 2023, Spring 2024 or Summer 2024.

APPLICATION #2 - NURSING APPLICATION -   (requires a fee - may apply for fee waiver)

Beginning spring 2020 term, 91短视频 Nursing will accept an online lab for a science prerequisite, as long as it is an approved science and lab course. 

ADDITIONAL CLASSES

The Nursing Department highly recommends completing these two additional classes before starting the Nursing program.  They provide relevant background knowledge and a strong foundation for first-year Nursing courses, and are also Nursing major requirements.  It is not necessary to complete them before submitting a Nursing application.

Class #1
General Psychology / Introduction to Psychology  (Psyc 100)
(Lifespan Psychology does not count for this requirement)

Class #2 - Choose only one from this list
Introduction to Anthropology (Anth 100) OR
Introduction to Cultural Anthropology (Anth 130) OR
Introduction to Sociology (Soc 100)

CHECK IF YOU HAVE ALL THE PREREQUISITES

SCIENCE PREREQUISITES HAVE A RECENCY REQUIREMENT OF SEVEN YEARS FROM THE DATE OF APPLICATION.  Check if your science course meets recency requirements.

*Due to COVID-19 related cancellation of spring 2021/fall 2021 admission cycles, we extended the recency requirement for one additional year for spring 2022/fall 2022 admission cycles only.

CONFIRM YOUR PREREQUISITES AND GPA with a Self-Evaluation form.  

All prerequisite courses taken at campuses other than 91短视频 must be approved as equivalent. Candidates can check on  for course equivalencies nationwide. Another resource is  to check for equivalencies at California public colleges and universities.

Email nursing@csueastbay.edu for information on prerequisites that do not appear on either of the listed equivalency websites.

RULES AND GUIDELINES FOR SPECIFIC COURSES

If you complete a combined "Anatomy & Physiology I" course, you must take PART II from the same campus. If you take a single-topic "Anatomy" course at any campus, you may take a single-topic "Physiology" course from any other campus.

The critical thinking prerequisite can only be satisfied by a specific logic-based class, with reference to inductive/deductive reasoning and/or evaluation of fallacies.

A higher level math course, such as Calculus or Trigonometry, CANNOT substitute for the statistics prerequisite.

Complete a separate course for each requirement - there is no "double-counting" requirements such as taking one class to meet both English composition and critical thinking.

Prerequisite courses that overlap with GE requirements are not waived for second bachelor degree candidates.

CREDIT/ NO CREDIT COURSES

ONE non-science prerequisite may be taken credit/no credit. All science prerequisites must be taken for a letter grade.

During the timeframe of COVID-19, some exceptions apply. 91短视频 Nursing strongly recommends a letter grade for nursing prerequisites, especially the science courses.  Our program will still accept CR (credit) on a transcript for a prerequisite course taken during spring 2020 or summer 2020.  Courses taken for CR (credit) during fall 2020, spring 2021 or summer 2021 will be evaluated case-by-case.  A class with a CR grade will not be included in the prerequisite GPA calculation.

AP EXAM CREDIT

Our office will accept an AP Exam score of 3 or higher to meet the requirements for the following courses, as shown in table below:

An approved AP Exam score will not be factored into the prerequisite or major GPA formula. To meet Nursing program application guidelines, send an official AP Exam score report to 91短视频 Admissions and upload an unofficial copy to NursingCAS as proof of the score by JANUARY 31 (for fall admission) or AUGUST 31 (for spring Admission). If a student earns AP credit for English and/or Statistics, that student may NOT take any additional non-science prerequisites for credit/no credit.

POLICY FOR REPEATING PREREQUISITE COURSES:

1. For the 91短视频 Nursing application, ONE science prerequisite repeat within a seven-year time period is allowed without penalty. Each additional science prerequisite repeat for a higher grade within a seven-year time period  results in point deductions from the total application points. Non-science prerequisite repeats are allowed without penalty, and do not earn any point deductions, regardless of number of repeats.
2. Check with your campus what the guidelines and policies are for repeating a course that earned at least a 'C' grade (Academic Renewal).
3. For the 91短视频 Nursing application, the higher grade is always considered for a repeated course, even if the student's own campus uses a different formula to calculate overall/cumulative GPA for repeated courses.
4. Earning a "W" in a prerequisite course and then taking it again to earn a grade does not count as a retake for 91短视频 Nursing.  The course that earned a "W" is disregarded during the Nursing application process and does not factor into any Nursing application GPA calculations.
