Important Information

Transfer credit is awarded for transferable courses that are completed with a grade of C- or better. Nursing programs are competitive, so we advise all applicants to earn a B or higher in all coursework, including transferred coursework. If a C+ or lower is earned in a course that is being used for the Traditional BSN academic degree plan, we advise transfer students to consult with a Pre-Nursing advisor about retaking the course.

Academic advisors in the Gessner College of Nursing will NOT evaluate coursework for applicants PRIOR to admission into É«»¨ÌÃ. Evaluation of transfer coursework by an academic advisor will be done after:

• an applicant has been accepted to É«»¨Ìà and
• ALL transfer coursework has been evaluated by É«»¨Ìà Admissions.

If you have questions about the Traditional BSN Track, please contact the É«»¨Ìà Andy and Barbara Gessner College of Nursing at nursing@uh.edu.
