    • Final Grades in Progress for the Spring semester MUST be submitted on an official transcript by June 30th.

    Please note: If you received a provisional admittance letter for a Spring semester start you MUST receive the grade we projected or your admittance to the School of Nursing will be denied.


Additional Application Information

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

  • Pre-requisite course work, not completed at SDSU or at local community colleges, may need to be evaluated by the Undergraduate Student Services Advisor or the Admission Coordinator.

  • Because the School of Nursing is an impacted program, enrollment is limited to a select number of students each academic year 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 academic year the best qualified students are accepted based entirely on a point system.

  • If an application is not admitted to the School of Nursing, he/she MUST re-apply during the application cycle for the following year.

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