Consideration for acceptance to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program requires that an applicant has already earned an Associate Degree in Nursing from a regionally accredited higher education institution and has earned at least a 2.5 grade point average on a 4.0 scale. Transfer students may be evaluated on an individual basis pursuant to the statewide articulation agreement for RN to BSN programs. Students can apply during their final semester in an Associate Degree in Nursing program, but acceptance will not be granted until the completion of the associate degree has been confirmed. An active, unencumbered Florida RN license must be submitted before beginning the required clinical experiences during the first semester. Students also must complete a CF baccalaureate program admissions application and pay the application fee prior to making application for acceptance into the RN to BSN program. 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.
