Once completed you will receive a letter stating your program application eligibility via your Self-Service account.

  • All Official Transcripts from other colleges attended must be submitted or already on file before meeting with a Health and Wellness Pathway counselor so they can sign off on your Nursing Transcript Evaluation if needed.

  1. Program Notes: Once all program prerequisites are completed or you are in the last semester of completion you may complete and submit a Nursing Transcript Evaluation to Enrollment Services to get your Program Notes. You must meet with a Health and Wellness Counselor and have them sign off on your Nursing and Allied Health Evaluation Request Form, then submit this form before the July 1st or December 1st deadline stated on the form electronically to Enrollment Services through their Dropbox on the Student Support Hub.
  • If you are applying to the LVN Transition program please submit a copy (back and front) of a current and active California Vocational Nursing License with your Nursing Transcript Evaluation Request.
  • Once your Evaluation is reviewed and processed by an Evaluator, eligibility notification to apply to the program will be emailed to students and your Program Notes will be found in Self-Service.
  • Program Notes can be found in your MSJC Self Service account under Student Planning by viewing the My Progress tab and clicking on Evaluation and Graduation Results under the heading of Program Notes.
  • If your Evaluation does not have an expiration date it is only valid for one year.

Evaluation Request Forms submitted after the deadline will not be accepted. No exceptions.

  1. If Evaluation results confirm eligibility, complete and submit a Nursing Program Application during the next filing period. Applications are available for download from the ADN Application page during the application filing period and can be submitted via email to NursingandAH@msjc.edu during that time (See ADN Application page for more information).
