• Except for highly impacted majors, CSU eligible applicants who are considered local based on their high school of graduation or their military veteran status will be offered admission if they meet the major-specific minimum cumulative GPA and required lower-division preparation.
• For local applicants who apply to a highly impacted major, their cumulative grade point average (GPA) will be increased by 0.1 during the admissions process. This calculated GPA will be applied to the competitive ranking and departmental review for admissibility to a highly impacted program.
• Other CSU-eligible applicants who have met the major-specific minimum cumulative GPA and the minimum required lower-division preparation will be admitted on a space available basis based on their cumulative GPA and the additional preparation courses completed if specified in the criteria.
• If space is available after all students meeting the minimum major GPA and preparation have been accommodated, then CSU-eligible students without the minimum major preparation may be considered.
• Students admitted to the major who have not completed the additional recommended transfer requirements or the additional ������ requirements must complete them during their first year at ������.

The Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) curriculum is used in lieu of the major-specific degree requirements. We strongly encourage students to complete both the recommended and required courses because ������ remains highly competitive in our admissions process. Under current CSU guidelines, the cumulative GPA will be increased by 0.1 and this calculated GPA will be applied in the ranking of applicants. Please refer to Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) for a complete list of requirements and additional information on how the ADT will be used in the competitive ranking process.

Nursing BSN Basic is a highly impacted program.

To be considered for admission to the major, applicants must submit a separate nursing school application demonstrating completed coursework below along with the results of the Casper Situational Judgment Test offered by Acuity Insights.  In reviewing applications, a personal profile is developed for each applicant based on pre–requisite science GPA, pre-requisite non-science courses (listed below) and the Casper Test. The pre–requisite science courses GPA is given more weight, with typical course grades being 3.25 or higher and no grades below “C.” Applicants with the highest profile scores are invited to participate in a live communication exercise and will be asked to share their experiences in community engagement.  The results of the communication exercise and community engagement activities are added to the profile and students with the top profiles are selected for admission. The number of admitted students is limited by space availability. It is anticipated that about 80 students will be admitted each fall and spring from hundreds of applications.
