Chancellor's Formula

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Hi,

Can anyone tell me about the extent to which the chancellor's formula is used? Is it used at all nursing programs? Is it strictly used in California? Can anyone tell me how to find out which programs are using it?

I've never heard of it, so I guess it is something that is not universally used. Is this a formula for admissions or something else?

California Community College Chancellor's Office Admission Formula (Multi-Criteria Screening Process) to evaluate all LVN to ADN Career Ladder applicants.

This formula is calculated based upon a combination of the following factors:

1. English 1A (or equivalent) course GPA (≥2.50 required)

2. Core Science (Anatomy, Physiology, & Microbiology)

GPA (cumulative ≥2.50 required), and

3. Total number of repeats (W, D, or F grades) in core

science courses (lowers the admission score)

This calculation results in a probability percentage. The higher the percentage, the more likely the student is to complete the program successfully.
