Application

The 2024 Cycle is now closed.

Our next application window will occur in February of 2025 for the Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 semesters.

For future reference:

We have revised the application form which now is to be submitted ONLINE only with any required supporting documents. Applications and supporting docs are NOT to be sent by regular mail.

Please follow the directions in each category of the application for any required supporting documents. Points will not be awarded if the appropriate documentation is not submitted with the application. All supporting docs, with the exception of transcripts are to be submitted only with the online application. Please see below for transcript submission requirements.

Please use this Language verification form as the supporting document for Item #7 of the application if applicable.

TRANSCRIPT INFORMATION

As part of the application process, official transcripts showing completion of prerequisites at any colleges attended other than Cabrillo College must be submitted.

You may also choose to send transcripts showing completion of general education courses. Although general education courses are not evaluated with the application, if you are accepted in the program, these will be required for review to graduate.

Transcripts can be accepted prior to the application window and this is encouraged. If a relevant course is recently completed, please ensure this course is included on the transcript before submitting it to Cabrillo. Only official transcripts can be reviewed as part of a nursing application.

For hard copy transcript submission-

One set of sealed, official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended (other than Cabrillo College) are to be mailed directly to Cabrillo's Admissions and Records Department. For students who attended Cabrillo College, transcripts are not required. Do not send unofficial transcripts, photocopies, or transcripts with opened envelopes. The mailing address is Cabrillo College, 6500 Soquel Drive, Aptos 95003. ATTN: Admissions and Records.

For electronic transcript submission-

Your college may also electronically submit your transcripts to Cabrillo's Admissions and Records. Electronic submission is encouraged and must be sent from a third party website (e.g. Parchment, National Student ClearingHouse, etc.) from your previous institution to Cabrillo.

If the third party website requests an email address, please use evaluator@cabrillo.edu.

AP Transcripts

If you are using your AP English high school course score in place of English 1A, you will need to submit official AP scores, not a high school transcript. We will be looking for it to be a score 3 or higher. You can order your official AP scores from the College Board and list Cabrillo College as the recipient. These are electronically sent directly from the College Board to Cabrillo's Admissions and Records.

Important-please note:

Transcripts scanned and submitted with the online application will NOT be accepted. Follow the instructions above.

Applicants who have previously applied are not required to re-submit transcripts unless additional coursework has been completed. If you have completed additional coursework, submit the transcript only for the new course/courses.

Transcripts must be received by the time the application cycle closes.

TEAS INFORMATION

If the applicant is selected to move to Phase 2, at that time the applicant will be invited to test at Cabrillo OR to submit a transcript showing a minimum score of 62% taken within two years.

We recommend that applicants with lower TEAS scores retake the TEAS in order to obtain the maximum points for Phase 2.

Cabrillo will use your highest TEAS score within 2 years of application regardless of the number of times you have tested. Please note that this may not be the case for other nursing programs.

TEAS scores of 62-74.9 are awarded 10 points

75-84.9 are awarded 20 points

85-100 are awarded 30 points
