    Bachelor of Science in Nursing


    Prerequisite Requirements

    Application Deadlines
    Admission to the baccalaureate nursing program is a two-step process 1) admission to the
    university, and 2) admission to the clinical nursing program. Application deadlines are strictly
    adhered to. Students who apply to the university after the priority enrollment periods below
    are not eligible for admission to the clinical nursing program, but may attend the university as
    a prenursing major if approved by Admissions and Records. Per University policy, the
    application fee may not be transferred or used to apply to another term. Sacramento State
    students, who have graduated or have had a lapse in enrollment, may be required to reapply
    to the university and are required to meet the same deadlines. For additional information
    regarding university admission, please contact Admissions and Records, Lassen Hall Lobby,
    (916) 278-3901, http://webapps1.csus.edu/admr/content/admission/default.asp.

    Application

    California Residency
    The clinical portion of the nursing program is open only to students who can satisfy
    the California residence requirements. Prenursing students are not required to be
    residents of California. Paying resident fees based on a military fee waiver does not classify
    a student as a California resident. For additional information, please contact the Residency
    Screening Office, Lassen Hall, Room 1011, (916) 278-7779,
    http://webapps1.csus.edu/admr/content/admission/residence/default.asp.

    Prerequisite Courses
    Prerequisite courses are acceptable regardless of date completed, but current knowledge is
    essential. Prerequisite courses must be completed with a grade of C or better; a C- is not
    acceptable.

    1. Organic Chemistry (with in-class lab)


    2. Anatomy (with in-class lab)
    3. Physiology (with in-class lab)
    4. Microbiology (with in-class lab)

    8. Quantitative Reasoning (Statistics is recommended; any G.E. Area B4 course is
    acceptable)

    Corequisite Courses
    Students are strongly encouraged to complete the corequisite courses prior to admission to
    the clinical major; however, it is not required and the number of corequisite courses
    completed will not be a factor in the selection process. If needed, student schedules will be
    modified to allow additional time to finish the corequisite courses, before beginning the clinical
    nursing curriculum. Life Span Human Development, Introductory Psychology, Nutrition, and
    Pharmacology must be completed prior to entering the second semester of the clinical nursing
    program. A Societal-Cultural Patterns course must be completed prior to graduation.
    Corequisite courses must be completed with a grade of C or better; a C- is not acceptable.

    ƒ “Life Span” Human Development


    ƒ Introductory Psychology
    ƒ Nutrition
    ƒ Pharmacology
    ƒ A Societal-Cultural Patterns Course must be completed before graduation (e.g.
    SOC1, ANTH 2, ANTH 101, ANTH 144, ANTH 186, ETHN 011, HRS 161).

    Completion of the ATI, Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS)


    Completion of the ATI, Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) is required for all students
    applying to the clinical nursing program. A minimum score of 75.0% is required to be
    considered for admission. The test may be taken multiple times at any ATI approved testing
    site. If the test is taken more than once, the highest score will be used. Information, test
    dates, and a link to register online may be found on the Division of Nursing website,
    www.hhs.csus.edu/nrs. For TEAS tests taken at a non-Sacramento State location, results
    must be ordered from ATI and submitted by ATI directly to the Division of Nursing.

    Minimum GPA Requirements


    ƒ A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required to be considered for admission. The nursing
    grade point average is calculated using the 30+ most recent graded semester units; plus
    any prerequisites completed prior to the last 30+ graded semester units. All of the units
    from every institution attended will be included from the term where the thirtieth unit falls.
    If an applicant has completed less than 30 units, but has completed enough prerequisite
    courses to apply, the GPA will be based on all graded units completed at the time of
    application.
    ƒ A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required on the prerequisite courses completed at the
    time of application. All prerequisite courses must be completed with a grade of C or
    better; a grade of C- is not acceptable.

    In-Progress Policy
    Two science and two non-science prerequisite courses, four total, may be in progress during
    the semester prior to enrollment. When applying for fall admission, prerequisite courses must
    be completed by the end of the previous spring term.

    Repeat Policy
    The following Repeat Policy was approved on January 28, 2008 and will become effective for
    the spring 2009 application period:

    If a prerequisite or corequisite course has been taken more than once, the highest grade will
    be included in the GPA calculation used to rank candidates. However, if a course has been
    taken more than twice within a seven-year period, preceding the first day of the Supplemental
    Nursing Application filing period, a five-point deduction per course will be taken from the
    candidate’s final score in the ranking for admission to the clinical nursing program. If a
    student is “in progress” of repeating one or more prerequisite or corequisite courses at the
    time of application, the units and grade points from the repeated courses will be excluded.
    The In-Progress Policy above applies to repeated courses. If you are considering applying to
    other institutions, we recommend you contact each institution for advisement regarding their
    repeat policy.
