El Centro/NLC ADN Spring 2020

UPDATE: Changes: New Log In Requirement

Hi everyone!I

I wanted to make a group for all the people applying for the Spring 2020 program. Has anyone taken the HESI yet? If so, are there better tools than the book?

Doesn't that mean they will increase the tuition a bit to be able to cover cost for books? That is very helpful though. Even more incentive to want to join the program.

How did the schedule look like in a week? Yes it was a hard time especially with Covid-19.

Possibly, it may be better that way.

Yes tuition does increase. It will cover books and some lab material I believe like skills kits. I did the opt out program so I do not have tuition increase but that’s because we already paid for our books, etc.

Tacking it on to the tuition apparently “saves” money. Personally, I doubt it will be much less. The real benefit is that you might not have to deal with the back and forth purchase and returns we did. I’m also 2nd Level, and we had to purchase, return, purchase, return, until El Centro could finally give us a definitive list of required books (they duplicated many on the initial list). Activating all of them at the correct time (some virtual books are only good for a year) was a hassle as well. Not trying to be discouraging, just want to give everyone a heads up that you’ll rarely, if ever, be given definitive answers throughout this program.

1 week to go! I just retook the HESI this weekend to raise my score. I have 37 points. Is that good enough? How many points does everyone have?

For Castle Branch; are those due dates critical on the account? Mine had a due date of last year but I think it’s been fixed now.

I never got an answer after being on hold for an hour. I went into the ElCentro/Castle Branch site where I picked my package and if I picked it today it would be the same as the one I have. I’m not going to worry about my due date, however I do have the Spring package.

I am applying for Fall 2021. My castle branch is showing Fall 2020 with 1/31/2020 as deadline. Did it matter to you in the similar case? I am also not worried about it since it shows Compliant status, but wanted to check with you since yours was a similar case. ?

This is okay. As long as it says "Fall" they can use it for subsequent terms.
