Transfer

No alteration in tuition may occur as a result of credit granting unless these courses are allowed for Readmission in Term II or Term III. This determination is based upon the number of courses, type of courses, and amount and availability of student open positions.

Transfer credit granting will be determined by the following criteria: (page 22 of Student Handbook):

Co-requisites and prerequisites will be evaluated according to our curriculum plan. Official transcripts will be used to determine course alignment for credit consideration and must be submitted prior to the beginning of the program for credit granting.
● An official transcript, mailed directly to the Director from the previous educational institution, for a course completed within the past three years.
● The course outlines may be required in order to determine similarity in content.
● A minimum grade of 77% must be achieved for all courses with the exception of microbiology and nutrition (Term I), which require a minimum grade of 75%.
●Any course may only be repeated once. An unsuccessful prior attempt with a course in another school will be considered as the first attempt and repetition of that course within this program will be considered the second attempt.

• Take a challenge test for Fundamentals of Nursing.  This computerized exam is a review of the basic fundamental principles that are covered in the course, ensuring that the student has retained enough knowledge to be a safe and competent student nurse prior to entering Term II.
• Remediation work based on the challenge exam results will be assigned and due prior to the first day of class.
• Attend Fundamentals Lab in Unit 4, which is vital signs, with Unit 5 physical assessment following, and to complete all labs Unit 4-11.
• Pass the minimum requirement for the Graded Physical Assessment.

In order to progress into Term II, all of the above criteria must be met.  The specific dates will be supplied to the student the student by the Director.  

The Practical Nurse Program curriculum must be completed within two consecutive calendar years. Any transfer credits will be considered as part of the first year of the two calendar year allocations. If credit is awarded, the grades will be reflected on the report card and transcripts. No numerical grade will be assigned and these courses will not be used to determine the cumulative average.

If transfer credit is granted, all Term I class credit will be granted with the exception of Vocational Trends Term I.

Tuition will be determined by the final hour calculations that will need to be completed within the Program.  The following rates will be used for tuition costs. $7.00 an hour in-district classroom hours, $11.00 an hour out-of-district classroom hours, $12.00 an hour for out-of-state classroom hours and $8.00 an hour for all clinical hours.  A fee of $140 includes processing fee for Transfer applicants.
