CCSF Fall 2016 Applicants

aliciaariane · May 2, 2016

Just wanted to clarify that this will not affect CCSF's nursing program. Nursing programs have a separate accreditation team that evaluates them. If CCSF loses their accreditation (which is unlikely), CCSF's nursing program will not be affected.

Thank you for clarifying, Julia! :yes: I actually mentioned to EB that the nursing program won't be loosing its accreditation, just the school (as you said, unlikely, but I'm too much of a planner to not do my research haha) and the woman I spoke to heard directly from her superior that they will not accept credits from a school that is not accredited, even if the program is accredited. You're absolutely right, the program itself will be accredited and we will be able to finish it, but it might be tricky to transfer to a BSN program, from my understanding. Of course, this is only from one conversation I had, I'm sure there's more to it

Alicia, You're right--It is something we should be concerned about. Hopefully they can give us more information during the orientation about the school's situation and how that will affect the program if it does lose it accreditation. I just received my acceptance from CSM, but I hear nothing but good things about CCSF's RN program and tuition is also way less than CSM. So, I'm pretty much set on CCSF because I'm very familiar with the school--I live close by and I've taken all my GE courses at CCSF. Did you apply to other programs?

As for the fundamental book, I'm not sure. I checked the online bookstore and it said TBD.

Definitely looking forward to hearing what they say about that during orientation. However, I think I will be following up on what they say just so I won't be blind sided by another school's policies.

Congrats on your acceptance!!! :laugh: CCSF also has very good NCLEX passing rates compared to other ADN programs. I actually did not even step foot on the campus until last week when I went to pick up my packet haha. You're so lucky you live close by! My commute from Pittsburg is about an hour and a half, but absolutely worth it, so I'm not complaining! haha.

Yes I applied to Napa Valley College, they did something new this year where they only accepted the first 17 people to apply by 9:00am in Feb, but I didn't get into that one I also applied to Merritt College in Oakland, Delta in Stockton, and I'm thinking about Modesto Junior College, their application actually just opened today.

Awh, okay I was hoping to get a head start since I read that was a tough class in other ADN programs. Are you only taking the recommended math this summer?

I spoke to ------------- and she said they're probably going to change the books this year.

Hey guys I had a question. I'm trying to register for classes, there's no special link, right? Your supposed to just click registration? Its saying I can't until June 06, I'm assuming I probably just have to call & make sure they passed the info onto admissions.

Julia88 · May 7, 2016

No special link. June 6 is your registration date--you can add classes on or after that date, but not before. Are you new to CCSF?

I am also new to CCSF, and June 7 is my registration date.

I look forward to meeting everyone at the orientation!

Hi TN2016! We should probably just wait until the orientation and ask what book we will be using for Nurs 50?

Btw, are you from the East Bay?

Kaylalyn · May 7, 2016
