Transfer and Challenge Policy

• The Cabrillo College Associate Degree Nursing Program accepts qualified transfer students from other accredited nursing programs and has challenge options for persons with related education and/or experience, including military education and training.

• Applicants will be admitted on a space available basis. All transfer and challenge applicants must meet prerequisite courses and G.P.A. requirements which are current at the time of application (see current Associate Degree Program brochure.) A minimum of a "C" grade is required in each non-nursing course listed in the Associate Degree Nursing curriculum. A prerequisite G.P.A. of 2.0 in vocational nursing courses is required for entry into the Associate Degree Nursing Program. An applicant's request for transfer credit or advanced placement will be evaluated by the nursing department which will recommend further action, plan for remediation and /or appropriate placement in the Associate Degree Nursing Program. All potential transfer or challenge candidates are to have a preliminary planning appointment with the Nursing Counselor and the Nursing Director.
