For admission purposes, you are a transfer student if you have registered and earned credit at a college or university after graduating from high school.
- Applicants are required to have performed well in a strong academic program, and successful students typically have a B average. Applicants must submit official high school and all college transcripts. In some cases students may have to submit the SAT scores.
- All transfer students, students who do not hold bachelor's degrees and attended high school in another country must have their high school transcript evaluated by World Education Services. We no longer will be accepting an original certificate from a student's high school as proof. The student will need a document by document official evaluation from WES.
- In general, all courses completed with grades of C+ or better and similar to those offered at CNR will be considered for transfer.
- Credits from nursing courses with clinical components taken at other schools are not transferable.
- The School of Nursing will transfer up to 61 credit hours of applicable courses.
- Transfer credit is entered on the official college transcript. Grades received for transfer courses are not shown, nor are they included in the calculation of cumulative GPA at CNR.
- The candidate must also be in good standing at the institution in which he or she is currently or was most recently enrolled.
- Transfer students may be required to take the placement examinations in writing and reading.
College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) Guidelines
CNR allows a maximum of 15 credits toward the degree only for entering students who have successfully passed examinations in the College-Level Examination Program (sponsored by the Educational Testing Service). For CLEP Subject Examinations, the recommendations of the Council on College-Level Examinations will be followed in making this determination.
Offers of admission are conditional, pending receipt of all official records showing successful completion of academic work in progress.
