Applicants with an LPN License
The Connecticut Community College Nursing Program (CT-CCNP) participates in the Connecticut League for Nursing Articulation Model for Nursing Education Mobility for LPN's. To be eligible for articulation, the LPN must:
- Hold a current license to practice as an LPN in Connecticut.
- Satisfy all the CT-CCNP admission requirements.
- Submit a CT-CCNP application and be admitted to the program. Please note, the application process does not vary for LPN candidates.
Once admitted, LPN candidates will be advised as to their placement within the CT-CCNP. For an LPN to begin the program in the third semester (NUR*220), the following requirements must be met:
- Complete the required general education courses of the first year of the CT-CCNP with a grade of "C" or higher (BIO*235, PSY*111, PSY*201 & SOC*101).
- Successfully complete the Connecticut LPN Transition Bridge Course at Charter Oak State College (NUR 190) and the appropriate college-based CT-CCNP LPN transition course (NUR*152).
Students must attain a final grade of 80% (B-) in Charter Oak State College's (COSC) NUR 190 to be eligible to take NUR*152 and to qualify for advance placement into the third semester of the CT-CCNP (NUR*220). Based upon course and space availability, students may be eligible to re-take COSC NUR 190 and/or NUR*152. Students who are unsuccessful in either COSC NUR 190 or NUR*152 are not eligible to advance place into NUR*220.
Applicants are encouraged to seek advisement from one of the contact persons listed below prior to the application process. If admitted to the program, a student must contact the individual listed below for advisement regarding advanced placement.
Naugatuck Valley Community College,
LPN Graduates from the Connecticut Technical High School System (CTHS)
A memorandum of understanding (MOU) is in place for CT-CCNP applicants that have graduated from an LPN program at one of the Connecticut Technical High Schools. This MOU is in place for LPN's that graduated from a CTHS beginning in 2010. Please note, the application process does not vary for LPN candidates.
Internal Transfers Applying at the End of the Third Semester
A student must complete 25% of the program at the college of graduation. A student requesting transfer at the end of the third semester would have less than 25% of the program remaining. In this situation, a student would do the following:
- Apply for internal transfer following the requirements listed above. Candidate would be ranked with all other internal transfer requests.
- If candidate is approved, he/she will request permission to take course(s) at the preferred college, and transfer these courses back to the college of graduation.
Internal Transfer Students
An internal transfer student is a CT-CCNP student who wishes to transfer to another nursing program within the CT-CCNP.
The following requirements must be met to be considered for an internal transfer:
- A written request is submitted to the Nursing Director at the college where the student is currently enrolled. Written requests are due by January 2nd for spring semester, by July 1st for fall semester and by May 1st for the summer semester (Northwestern CT only).
- Transfer can only occur following successful completion of NUR*120.
- Transfer will occur prior to the start of a semester; mid-semester transfers will not be considered.
Transfer requests are evaluated by the Nursing Directors at the transferring and receiving colleges. Acceptance for transfer to another college within the CT-CCNP is based on availability of openings and faculty and clinical resources. In the event there are more transfer applicants than available openings at a specific college a ranking system will be applied. Students may only transfer one time during the four semester nursing program.
External Transfer Nursing Students
An external transfer nursing student is defined as a student who has successfully completed one or more nursing courses within the last 18 months at a program outside of the Connecticut Community College system, and wishes to transfer in these courses for advanced placement. Students who wish to transfer nursing courses with a clinical component from another college or university will be considered for transfer after the following requirements have been met:
- The applicant completes the CT-CCNP application for external transfers, and submits the application to the Admissions Office at the college of first choice. Applicants must meet all nursing program admission requirements. Completed applications are due by July 1st for fall semester requests, January 4th for spring semester requests and May 1st for summer semester requests (Northwestern CT only).
- A written request for evaluation of nursing course work and nursing course syllabi must be submitted to the Admissions Office at the college of first choice along with the CT-CCNP application. Requests will be forwarded to the Nursing Director at the college of first choice. Written requests are due by July 1st for fall semester requests, January 4th for spring semester requests and May 1st for summer semester requests (Northwestern CT only).
- External transfer candidates must have a minimum 2.7 Nursing GPA. The Nursing GPA is based only on the college courses with grades that meet the nursing admission and nursing program curriculum requirements. The Nursing GPA is a calculation specific to CT-CCNP applicants and may differ from your college GPA. (please note: if an applicant is using a course from a Fresh Start semester to meet a nursing admission or program curriculum requirement, that course will count in the calculation of the applicant's Nursing GPA.)
External transfers will be considered on a space-available basis. Applications for external transfer applicants are available at the colleges or can be downloaded from the website.
Twenty-five percent (25%) of the total credits applicable to the nursing degree must be granted by the college awarding the degree. No more than thirty credit hours of non-traditional credit may count towards the nursing degree. Nontraditional credit includes CLEP, DSST, Challenge Exams, Military Service Schools, and Assessment of Prior Learning.
Transfer Credits
Transfer credit evaluation for nursing applicants is done by the College of First Choice.
- Nursing Courses
Nursing credits from another college or university will be considered for transfer after a written request for evaluation of nursing course work has been received by the Nursing Director at the College of First Choice. - Non-Nursing Courses
In accordance with transfer of credit guidelines set forth by the Board of Trustees, courses which meet nursing program requirements will be accepted by the CT-CCNP. Once an applicant earns credit at the College of First Choice, transfer credit for the same course from another college will not be granted. - Credits Earned Outside the United States
Transcripts need to be evaluated by the "Course By Course" option through the World Education Services Inc, PO Box 745, Old Chelsea Station, New York, New York 10113 or another approved site and submitted to the College of First Choice. Contact the College of First Choice for additional information.
Transfer Grades
Grades from colleges not regionally accredited will not be accepted in transfer. A minimum grade of "C" is required unless otherwise noted by the admission requirements. A grade of C+ will be determined when the college does not use plus (+) and minus (-) by having the student be responsible for providing the proof that the grade is a C+. A numerical grade of 77-79 will be considered a C+.
Application
Please note: Applicants without a community college net ID must first submit a general college application to their college of first choice. Please visit the website of your college of first choice for more information. Download application.
