Schools that accept pre req retakes?

Published

I currently attend community college in Oregon to finish my pre nursing degree and have been wanting to move out of state to cali.

I am trying to find a BSN program that accept pre req retakes. I did poorly in some of my classes, not failed, but definitely not good enough of a grade to get into a good program. I looked into CSU however they have all mentioned that they do not accept retakes. It sort of confused me however since at my cc, you can retake classes and the previous grade gets bumped out, so does that mean that University's pull the other grade back up instead?

I'm open to any schools, be it public or private and anywhere in cali.

If there is no hope for a bsn degree, i'm open to getting adn as well, so any info about schools that do that program would be appreciated

Thank you.

Going to try giving this another bump :saint:

I have tried google searching as much as I could but still am not able to find much information.

It's a weird system that California schools have in which you cannot retake classes if it's above a C since most schools here do allow you to do that.

I can't speak for all California universities but I have not encountered a school that would take the full retake grade. From what I remember they would take the average of the two grades you received. So if you got an F the first time and an A the second time your grade will be a C. That is most likely what is hindering you from being competitive in the university systems. If I were you I'd look into the community college route as my school will take the highest grade received even if you retook the class several times. Community colleges will grant you an ADN which some have a bridge with a local university to the BSN. Best advice would be to contact the schools directly you are interested in and ask if they take the retake grade and if you are set on the BSN, which you should in California, ask about if they offer the RN-BSN route.
