WCU-OC BSN and LVN-BSN Admissions Requirement
Effective for students enrolling into the Summer I Term 2014 (and thereafter), the Admissions Requirements for the BSN and LVN-BSN programs have been updated. This change affects students at the Orange County Campus only.
Applicants to West Coast University’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at the Orange County campus need to demonstrate a minimum prior academic performance of 2.25 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) to be admitted. This criterion may be met in one of two ways:
1. Applicants submit their prior coursework for evaluation under the following conditions:
a. Applicants who have accumulated 18 or more college-level credits will be evaluated on the basis of their college-level academic cumulative grade point average and only proof of high school graduation is required;
b. Applicants who have accumulated fewer than 18 college-level credits, the 2.25 CGPA is evaluated based on their high school academic performance.
2. Applicants unable to obtain transcripts (including a GED) will be required to take the TEAS V exam and must achieve a score of 58.7 or higher in order to be admitted to the university.
Applicants will be required to submit all post-secondary transcripts no later than two weeks prior to the schedule term start. It is imperative that all post-secondary transcripts are received prior to this deadline, as the university will only evaluate coursework received before this deadline.
