CSUN 2016 ABSN

Published

Hi Everyone! I was searching around and couldn't seem to find a thread for the spring and fall 2016 ABSN program at CSUN. Hopefully we can use this thread to talk to and support each other as we go on this crazy journey :D

So, I might be blind or just got confused but I had no idea we were supposed to send two sets of transcripts: 1 tot he department and 1 to the admissions. I finally was able to call admissions and to my horror they have none of my transcripts. We all know how many hoops there are to jump through to get into these programs but I never saw anything that said to send two sets of transcripts. Was everyone else aware of this, or did something weird happen to my application?

I just looked on the website and didn't see it there but I had it in my notes about the program so I must have read it somewhere. When I applied to the university I got a confirmation email that they received my application and at the bottom of the email it said:

"Now that you have applied, request official transcripts from all colleges and universities you have attended to be sent to our Admissions and Records office."

So it's entirely possible that you didn't notice that part of the email because it just seemed like a confirmation receipt.

hello! I am aware that when we submitted our application to the nursing department that we include our official undergard transcript in the application packet. Do you guys know if we are supposed to send in another separate undergrad transcript to the dept of nursing or we don't need to anymore since we already included it in our application packet. Thank you!

Thank you!

So I submitted all of my official transcripts with my application packet. As someone else mentioned there was a confirmation email that was sent after doing the csu graduate application online that mentioned it - I did not see it and therefore did not send two sets of transcripts.

However I noticed that they had only received one of my transcripts when I checked portal earlier this month - I figured they were still checking the rest. But yesterday when they still didn't have record of the other four transcripts I called admissions and they said I needed t send them the transcripts directly, and that I wouldn't be penalized for being late - although I believe now my application will be set back because the graduate program sends the school of nursing your application once they say you meet the minimum requirements. It's all very complicated and I just wish it had been more clear.

Hopefully this helps anyone who might find themselves in a similar predicament

Hello RNtobe2016.....disregard my previous message about PM,because I just read that I have to post 15 times in order to have that access....with that said, i want it to ask about the requirements when you get into the program.. I'm shooting way high, but i have a overseas vacation plan for the month of may and I just want to get myself as ready as possible before hand,in case I get into the summer session, because reading previous posts,some individuals got into summer,but they applied for fall....i read on csun absn site that we will need cpr, fire safety card,and many others, but for those that I mentioned, can I get certified on my own already? Or the school will give me specific location to get certified? I'm currently a public health specialist,so any certificate will be usable...so to get it now will check off some to do items on my list.Thank you!

Hey everyone. Anyone receive word from the nursing department who had prerequisites still in progress for Fall 2015? I haven't received confirmation that my application is complete, but only back in December did I receive an email that I needed to turn in my transcripts by the deadline. It has been over a month or so since I sent in my transcript.

@laluna_26 I recently received an email saying that they still don't have my final transcript, but i have already sent in my transcript about 3 weeks ago. I emailed them about it but no reply. I sent another copy of my transcript just in case. did you use the same mailing address we used for our application?
