Hi guys, I realized on complio, the form for the drug screening was due the 12th for me, but the earliest appointment I found was on the 14th. Does anyone have this problem or know if it will be okay?

Make sure after August 1st you get flu shot! I believe for regular fall ADN it's due 8/15

"2025/2026 Flu vaccination due September 15th, 2025. 

Flu shots for the upcoming Flu Season are typically available beginning in August each year. (Lot # is required on flu documentation)    "

Was there or will there be a separate application for CEP for the Spring 2026 cohort?

From what I recall on the nursing website, they had an application to show that you were interested about a month ago.

I get why you'd want one, but I want to let you know that you really don't need an appointment! And if you do want to keep it, I'd make sure that your drug test authorization doesn't expire before that date. If you want to do a same-day walk-in, it's super easy. I did mine yesterday in Long Beach and you literally just check-in using your authorization number, scan your ID, and they call you when they're ready. It was probably a 10 minute wait, which wasn't bad.

Hi CEP folks, 

I just want to check in and recap upcoming due dates between the two programs. Here's what I have, but please let me know if I'm missing something: 
7/11: GWC, Complio documents due (1-8) 
7/31: Orientation at GWC 
8/1: GWC, Complio documents due (9-18) 
8/1: CSUSB, Castle Branch background check and drug screen due 
8/4: CSUSB ID card photo and payment due
8/15: ATI purchase due 
Class registration: TBD, we will be cleared after orientation 
Uniform: Purchase from Kay

Anything missing? Let me know. If not, I hope this helps summarize the key dates so that we're all on track. So excited to meet everyone 🙂

Is the ID card for CSUSB the badge? Also which did you guys buy?

Nevermind on the badge thing, I figured it out, but does the photo need to be approved first before I see the "Department of Nursing Badge" in the financial page? Right now I don't see the option to pay for the badge

I keep getting a 404 when I load up the photo page. Is that because I haven't been admitted to CSUSB yet?

@CEP students, anyone know when we are able to register for our classes/know if we are accepted. I already have a student portal (im assuming we got accepted) but just not understanding what to do next after complio, castle branch, ATI payments, badges, etc. Just wait for GWC Orientation? Also is it in person or online orientation.

The GWC orientation is in person. We will be released to register after the orientation.  We don't need to worry about registration, though because our seat is assured. It's more like a formality and a way to bill us, LOL. 
 

As an aside, has anyone been able to get their photo for CSUSB approved? I keep getting a 404 when I go to the websit me to submit the photo.
