Application Instructions

  1. Submit the School of Nursing BS Program Application (.pdf, 61 kb) during:

    • August 1 - August 31 for Spring admission
    • October 1 - November 30 for Fall admission

    Applications for SDSU can be completed online. Note: If you are a transfer student you must complete the supplemental application as well. Applications for the School of Nursing can be downloaded and mailed or brought into the SON office.

    NO EXTENTION OF DEADLINES...if your application is late you will have to wait another semester.

  2. Assemble and submit the Supplemental Nursing Packet by:

    • October 1 for Spring admission
    • April 15 for Fall admission

    Include a set of official transcripts from all colleges/universities attended in your packet with all your verifying documents, (you must include a current official transcript from SDSU if you are an SDSU student)

  3. Submit Grades in Progress by:

    • December 31st for Spring admission
    • June 5 for Fall admission

    Grades in progress for spring semester must be recorded on your application. You can be admitted provisionally until final grades are received. These grades must be received no later than December 31st.

    This deadline in only for prerequisite coursework in progress. Due to time constraints, it is impossible to provide an official transcript with grades from these courses. The School of Nursing will accept an email sent directly from the professor's work email at their college to sonadmit@mail.sdsu.edu or a letter (on college letterhead, sealed and signed by the professor) with course title (s) and final course grade (s).

    If letterhead is used, official transcripts must follow containing final grades as soon as possible. If the student is accepted into the nursing program, the acceptance only becomes final once the official transcripts are received and grades verified

    No Summer coursework can be used for a Fall semester entrance as the grades will not be available until past the final June 5th deadline.

Additional Application Information

  • A point system is used to evaluate and rank candidates.

  • Prerequisite course work, not completed at SDSU or at local community colleges, may need to be evaluated by the Undergraduate Admissions Coordinator.

  • Because the School of Nursing is an impacted program, enrollment is limited to a select number of students each semester who best meet the criteria. It is your responsibility to continue to check the website for any additions or changes in this information.

  • There is no waiting list. Each semester, the best qualified students are accepted. A point system is used for ranking and evaluating applicants.

  • Previous applicants who were not accepted may "rollover" their application one time by filling out an Application Rollover Form if they wish to be considered for the next semester. After that, students must reapply and show proof that they have additional points to strengthen their application. Successful applicants must meet the requirements.

  • Upon admission to the School of Nursing, students must be CPR certified and complete a background check. Proof of all the above must be brought to the School of Nursing office. Additionally, students are required to have a physical examination and take proof of examination and required immunizations to Student Health Services, not to the School of Nursing. All of this is required prior to attending clinical classes.
