Transfer

A Transfer Student is any student who has completed all or part of ANY nursing program other than the NLTCC Campus in which they are seeking admission. While NLTCC is one college, the Practical Nursing Programs are accredited through the Board of Nursing as 3 separate free standing programs. This is a competitive process. Students seeking to “Transfer” into an NLTCC program must have previously completed all “Pre-Nursing” courses noted in the “Pre-Nursing” section above with minimum scores.

Re-Entry

A Re-Entry student is a student who previously enrolled in the same NLTCC Campus Practical Nursing Program but did not complete. Students seeking re-entry must go through the same application steps as transfer students. This is a competitive process. The timing of the re-entry may affect the steps required to re-enroll. If selected for re-entry, the Program Director will confirm all the requirements needed.

Transfer & Re-Entry Steps

Step 1

For consideration for PN Nursing Class:

NLTCC College Application designating
If an application was completed in the last 12 months or students was enrolled in the Spring or Summer 2021 semesters, a new NLTCC college application is not required.
Transfer Re-Entry Application
Submit Transcripts from ALL previous institutions attended (Students seeking to transfer from one NLTCC Campus to another, may request transcripts be send from the originating campus. However, if selected to move forward in Step 2, students may be required to submit official transcripts.)
Submit a letter of recommendation from current program Director of Nursing

Step 2

Selected students must complete and submit the remainder of the Pre-Admission Practical Nursing Applicant Packet Checklist by the deadline. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

Please Note:

Students will not be considered for admissions with any active “I” (Incomplete) or “IP” (In-Progress) grades.
Students transferring after a grade of “F” will compete for a very limited number of spaces along with re-enrolling students. This is limited to 10% of the class. In a class with only 20 students, there can be only 2 students re-enrolling or transferring.
Students who are seeking to transfer after two failures “F” will not be permitted to enroll for a period of two (2) years. They will be required to re-apply as a new entering student and restart the program with no advance standing.
Any failure “F” grade in a course within a given nursing program level requires repeating every course within that level.
