West Coast University Nursing Program Questions, Please Help!

Published

I am from Hawaii and really interested in transferring to WCU asap. I've taken the majority of all the pre-reqs but not sure if the pre-reqs I've taken here are equivalent to the classes at WCU. So, if anyone knows if there's a credit transfer database or website that can tell me what classes are equivalent to WCU. any additional information is helpful too. I've spoken to a counselor and she was nice but demanded that I find all information on the website. unfortunately, I am all the way here in Hawaii and cannot go to Anaheim until this summer and wanted to know more information before I go. I hope someone can help me or provide me with some kind of information.

thanks!!! :lol2:

Pre-requisites I guess, and it got more expensive this year.

oh great.:uhoh3: Do they break down the costs for you to know why?

Oh and just to make it clear. when you go to the info session, do you get to know the pre reqs that they will accept and calculate your tuition?

At the info session? No. You'll need to bring official transcripts. They'll have the person in charge of transfers go through it, and contact you within 2-3 days.

oh okay. And after that do you talk with the financial aid regarding the cost of tuition?

Yep. They'll be pushy towards you when you go to a info session too. They made me "apply" once I walked in that door.

I was thinking about starting at the OC campus in June, but I was wondering how are you paying for rent, food, and tuition when it is so expensive? How much do you end up paying a month or a semester? I cannot find any info about this. I have every prereq done except for patho, so I am expecting my tuition to be around $70k

Im expecting them to be so thats why I will try to be clear with them when I get there that Im not making any commitments and im there to inquire about the program.

I know thats what Im worried about too. Idk how im gona work since they give you a schedule so you cant really choose your own and your sched is gona change every 3 months. Have you done the cultural pluralism? what is it?

Oh and I heard they wont tell you which pre reqs transfers unless you pay your tuition? How true is that?? Coz I mean i want to know what pre reqs transfers and how much my tuition will be BEFORE i apply to the school.

Nope. You can get the paper work started and in the end (before you start signing financial aid papers RIGHT in the end) you can decide to pull back. I did it last year when I found out they weren't WASC accredited. The first thing I did was have a counselor/adviser set me up, then came the transcripts/evaluation, then in the end, financial aid. So in short, not true. At least it's not for the NH campus.

okay good coz that would be kinda shady if they did that. thanks for the info
