An active, unencumbered Florida RN license must be submitted before beginning the second semester of classes.

Application to CF and application for acceptance into the nursing baccalaureate program are two separate forms.

Students articulating with an A.A.S. or an A.S. degree will need to complete additional general education courses to meet the 36- credit hour requirement. Students articulating with an A.A. degree may need to complete some upper-level core course prerequisites.

Students must meet the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges requirement for residency, which requires that CF award at least 25 percent of the program courses in the declared major. This means that 15 of the 60 upper-level (3000/4000) course credits must be taken at College of Central Florida.
