Applications from students who wish to transfer from an approved professional school of nursing will be considered on an individual basis. Acceptance of transfer students is dependent on completion of all admission requirements, demonstration of ability to attain the standards of achievement in our School, relevancy of course(s) and available space in the class.

Request for transfer of credit must be made to the Coordinator of Student Affairs using the Transfer of Credit Request Form accompanied by official transcripts and course descriptions/outlines. Trinity School of Nursing will not accept credit from an institution or source that is not accredited. Courses accepted for credit must be of comparable content/practicum as those offered by Trinity Health System School of Nursing. Course descriptions/outlines will be required and compared to Trinity course descriptions/outlines in order to determine course comparabilities, unless course comparability has previously been established. Transferred coursework must have been successfully completed within the past 5 years (final course grade of “C” or above). Calculation of credits is determined by course content/practicum comparability and granted according to the Program’s Curriculum Plan. Additionally, transfer students are required to successfully complete a 6 week non-credit Transition Course which is held in October – November prior to the Spring Semester start date each year. Transfer credit hours will not be included in qualitative GPA calculations.

Transition Course Fee: $400.00 plus textbook

The student requesting to transfer from an approved professional school of nursing must submit a letter of recommendation from the Director of the previous school. Trinity School of Nursing reserves the right to test any transfer applicant prior to admission. Once the required materials have been received, the Faculty Organization will review the applicant’s materials and determine final acceptance.
