Point Information (RECENT)

California State University, Sacramento Division of Nursing is currently an impacted program and admission to the CSUS baccalaureate Nursing program is a two step process. 

  • The first step is admission to the University as a pre-nursing major.
  • The second step is admission to the Clinical Nursing program via the Supplemental Application process. 

Prospective first-time freshmen, and transfer students who will not complete certain Clinical Nursing prerequisites by the time they enroll, may apply for University admission at any time up to the regular university application deadline.  They will be considered pre-nursing majors until they go through the Supplemental Application process and earn one of the 55 available slots in the Clinical Nursing program. 

Continuing CSUS students, transfer students, and second baccalaureate degree applicants are given equal consideration in the selection process. 

The clinical portion of the nursing program is open only to those who can satisfy the California residence requirement.

Under the NEW criteria applicants are ready to apply via the Supplemental Application process the semester they are finishing their last four prerequisite courses, two science courses and two non-science courses. For example if it is the Spring 2004 semester and a student is currently enrolled in Microbiology, Physiology, English 1A and Math he/she could fill out the Supplemental Application which he/she received in January. The Supplemental Application should be returned no later than February 15th and would be processed by the Division of Nursing. By the middle of April the acceptance, alternate and denial letters would be mailed out for the Fall 2004 semester. Grades from the Spring 2004 semester would not be used in the GPA calculation for the Fall 2004 Supplemental Application.
