30. University (SSU) Transfer Admission Criteria specific to BSN Refer to your college SSU ADN-BSN RoadMap for both the BSN and SSU GE Requirements Minimum of 60 semester units of college-transferable credit with at least a 3.0 overall GPA; maximum of 70 units of approved transfer credit from community college level coursework is allowed to count toward baccalaureate degree. 30 units should meet Sonoma State University General Education (GE) requirements for transfer including the following also required as CSU System Wide Nursing Program Admission Prerequisites ALL of GE Area A Completed (Speech/Oral Communication, English Composition/Written Communication, & Critical Thinking) ALL of GE Area B Completed (Physical Science, Biological Science, & Quantitative Reasoning/Math) 30 units must be credit for lower-division nursing course work (nursing coursework at California community college programs meets and exceeds this requirement). Second baccalaureate applicants must meet the CSU System Wide Nursing Program Admission Prerequisites listed above, however, may have one course in Area A (such as Critical Thinking) met with the existing baccalaureate degree. 30

31. Nursing Department CNECM Admission Criteria Must be in first semester of ADN programs in Santa Rosa Junior College, College of Marin, Napa Valley College, Solano Community College or Mendocino College Refer to your college SSU ADN-BSN RoadMap which outlines both the BSN and SSU GE Requirements Minimum of 60 semester units of college-transferable credit with a minimum 3.0 overall GPA; a maximum of 70 units from community college level coursework is allowed.

Preference for admission will be given to applicants with the fewest number of lower division SSU GE requirements outstanding. CSU GE Certification is desirable (Community College Education Counselors are authorized to assist you with these certifications). 31

32. Are the classes online? All courses (except the clinical portion of N412) are online with the possibility of scheduled mandatory on campus sessions once or twice during each semester.

Students are in clinical 8-5pm on either a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday Clinical sites are within the University’s service area of Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Marin, Lake, and Mendocino counties. 32

33. What is the cost of tuition? The costs listed here are estimates, fee’s are subject to change Summer 2016 4 units $1500 Summer 2017 4 units $1500 Fall 2017 Full time 8-12 units $3665 Spring 2018 Full time 8-12 units $3665 Total $10,330 *UDGE enrollment in winter intersession and summer terms can alter the costs.

34. Important dates for applying to the CNECM Program application period is February 1 st – March 15 2016 attend an online CNECM information session listed on the SSU Nursing Home page check the SSU Nursing Home page frequently for CNEMC information dates and announcementsSSU Nursing Home 34

35. Is there a part time CNECM option? No. Students must enroll in all the nursing courses listed in the CNECM Academic Program Plan The first two summer courses are 4 units Fall and spring of the second year are 11 units each and part time is not an option. If a student withdraws from any required nursing course, they are discontinued from the CNECM program and must reapply in the next admission cycle. 35

36. Can I work while in the CNECM program? Working during summer terms when you are taking a 4 unit course is possible. A 4 unit course over 7 weeks requires 18 hours per week minimum study time The 11 unit course load during fall and spring is equivalent to a full time job. Most students find working part time manageable. Successful graduates are highly motivated, self-directed and are able to balance their work-life-school responsibilities. Having support from family, friends and employers is very helpful. 36
