Transfer and Advanced Placement students (to be completed 90 days prior to admis- sion date):
Additional requirements:
Applicants must have completed NUR 111 to be eligible for transfer.
• The applicant must declare his/her desire to transfer or advanced placement into the program in writing to the Nursing Program Coordinator at least three (3) months prior to the term in which the student is seeking admission.
• The applicant must meet all admission criteria at least three (3) months prior to the se- mester he/she wishes to enroll. If all slots have not been lled after the deadline, there may be extensions to the deadline.
• An applicant who must repeat a course must do so within one year of the date the course was taken.
• Applicants must provide of cial transcripts from a Board of Nursing approved Associate Degree Nursing Program for evaluation.
• Applicants must provide copies of outline and syllabi of nursing courses for which trans- fer or advanced placement credit is requested. The Nursing Program Coordinator and nursing faculty will review these documents for content compatibility with Southwest- ern Community College’s Associate Degree in nursing courses. As each transfer situation is unique, validation of skills and knowledge may be required.
• Students lacking documentation of completion of a majority of the content for a course will be required to take the course. The nal decision for transfer credit for nursing courses will be made by the Nursing Program Coordinator.
• Health forms must be completed and submitted. Prior to beginning classes, the student must show evidence of current (less than one year old) CPR card, a current TB test, tetanus immunizations, current malpractice insurance, and accident or personal health insurance.
After available spaces are lled with returning SCC Associate Degree Students and/or Advanced Placement students, transfer students will be selected based on their GPA and ATI TEAS score on a rst come, rst serve basis.
