Moorpark College Nursing Program is studying a prerequisite system based on a formula that takes into consideration-overall GPA, GPA in core biological sciences (Anatomy, Physiology and Microbiology), number of repeats in the core biological sciences, and English GPA. The composite of these factors generates a cut score which will need to be obtained to be admitted into the nursing program. The program is in the process of determining the cut score and anticipate it will be published on the Moorpark College Health Sciences Nursing website Fall 2006 (www.moorparkcollege.edu) with expected implementation in Fall 2007. If there are any questions regarding this prerequisite system contact Kim Hoffmans, Coordinator of Health Sciences, (805) 378-1400 ext. 1706. Enrollment Process • Upon meeting the qualifying requirements (Step 1) and the Prerequisite Science Courses (Step 3) with a C or better and an overall GPA of 2.5 or better, students may submit an application to a Nursing Counselor from September 1 to October 15 or February 15 to March 15 of each year. All official College and High School transcripts must be submitted with the application. • After a random selection of qualified applicants (meeting the minimum prerequisite score), a number will be assigned to each applicant, and the applicant’s name will be placed on a waiting list: Each applicant’s number will indicate his/her place in “LINE” to enter the program. Applicants are admitted to the nursing program by number order. • There will be alternates selected for each admission class to serve on standby for admission until the end of the first week of class. If not admitted, these alternates will be first admissions into the next class. • The Health Science Department will contact applicants regarding program enrollment a semester prior. • Admission may be denied to an applicant who has failed or withdrew failing from a program and whose overall record makes program completion unlikely (example: two program withdrawals); or who has health and/or safety deficits which place clients at risk.
