Transfer of College Coursework
Students who desire admission via transfer to GC must adhere to the GC course transfer policies outlined in the GC Student Handbook. This includes submitting official copies of transcripts from each college or university previously attended to the Office of Admissions and Records and a copy of the transcripts to the Vocational Nursing Program. Prerequisite and corequisite general education courses will be accepted for transfer and application toward the Vocational Nursing program if the course is evaluated as equivalent to the required course at GC. Nursing courses are accepted for transfer only with prior approval. Students wishing to transfer nursing courses should request an Information Packet. Copies of course syllabi from all previous nursing courses must be submitted to the program director to determine eligibility for transfer. Applicants must also provide a letter from the previous nursing program director stating that the applicant is currently passing and in good standing.
Eligibility for LIcensure
To qualify to take the licensing exam, students must meet eligibility requirements stipulated by the Texas Board of Nursing. Applicants who have reason to believe they may be ineligible to take the licensing exam due to criminal background issues may petition the BON for a declaratory order. This should be done prior to entering the nursing program since these eligibility issues also prevent the student from enrolling in the clinical courses. Information about eligibility is available in the VN Information packet and on the website for the Texas Board of Nursing.
