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

PREREQUISITE DEADLINE AND MINIMUM GRADE

Prerequisite courses can be in progress at time of application, through the academic year when you apply.  All final prerequisite grades and official transcripts from fall in-progress prerequisites must be received by January 31 and after that, by July 1.

All prerequisite courses must have a "C" or better. A "C" or "C+" grade (or better) is acceptable, as long as the 3.00 minimum GPA requirement is still met. A "C-" grade, however, is too low, and is not acceptable.

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 of the AP Exam score report to NursingCAS as proof of the score by the JANUARY 31 deadline. 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. There is no penalty for retaking a prerequisite course for the 91短视频 Post-Licensure Program.
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.

HOW APPLICANTS ARE SELECTED

• Admission is considered for all applicants that meet document deadlines, earn minimum prerequisite GPA, and satisfy prerequisite content. If space is limited by clinical site availability (this is not anticipated), applicants may be admitted based on their position on a randomized list.
  
  
• If there are no space limitations, all qualified applicants are offered admission. If a randomized list is necessary, qualified applicants from the top portion of the randomized list will be offered admission to the program.  
  
  
• If using a randomized list, candidates not immediately offered admission will stay in the same random order and be placed on a waitlist.
  
  
• If any candidate offered admission declines before the first day of fall term, the next student on the waitlist will be contacted and offered admission. This process continues, following the exact order of the waitlist, until all available spots are filled.
  
  

Our program currently has plenty of space available.
