Transfer Nursing Student
Students previously enrolled in another nursing program must forward a letter and ADN (Transfer) Application requesting transfer and attach copies of all unofficial college transcripts. Students who are requesting transfer from another nursing program are also required to provide a letter from the program dean/chair/director of eligibility to reenter their previous nursing program in order to be eligible for consideration in the SAU nursing program. If a student has failed a nursing course the request for transfer is classified as an academic reentry request and reentry policies apply. If a student has failed more than one nursing course they are not eligible for consideration for entry into the SAU nursing program.
