Criteria for Transfer
Students are accepted in the Practical Nursing program as a transfer student on an individual basis if a position is available. Direct admission students will receive priority. The following information is needed to determine the student's standing:
- A written request is received from the individual to the Director of Nursing.
- Official transcripts from high school, GED, colleges or universities attended.
- Syllabus with course objectives, outlines, and content for all nursing courses taken.
- Letters of recommendation from the Director and two instructors of the student’s previous nursing program.
- Students must meet admission requirements of the MACC Practical Nursing program.
- Transfer students shall meet all criteria of other students in the program, and a planned program shall be set up for the students to enable them to fulfill the same requirements for graduation as all other students in that class. This information should be entered on the ensuing State Board report after admission. In the event that said transfer would cause the school to exceed their limits by more than one student, permission from the State Board of Nursing must be obtained prior to admission.
- Nursing courses are accepted for up to two years after completion.
- Transfer of CLEP or Advanced Placement tests for Anatomy and Physiology will not be accepted.
If a student applying for the PN program at MACC has been in the ADN program at MACC within the last two years and has taken NUR 102-Fundamentals of Nursing and Mental Health (8 credit hours) and obtained a 78% or above grade and passed the lab/clinical, the student may take the PNC119 final exam. If the student passes the Fundamentals (PNC119) final exam with a 78% or higher, they will be awarded 3 hours of advanced standing credit for the Practical Nursing program.
In order to receive credit for transfer from other intuitions, students must submit syllabi from applicable courses for evaluation by the Director of Nursing.
