Currently, each nursing cohort is limited; therefore, very few openings are expected yearly. Students requesting transfer into the program may apply to the nursing department following these guidelines.
Applicants must submit all required documents by May 1st of the year requesting admission, addressed to the PSU Admissions Department:
- Meet all progression requirements to begin the nursing sequence in the fall of the year requesting admission;
- Achieve a grade of 2.67 (B-) in all prerequisite courses.

- Meet all progression requirements to begin the nursing sequence in the fall of the year requesting admission;
- Overall GPA of 2.67
- All prerequisites must have a grade of B- or better
- submit a letter of request, addressed to psu-aprnursing@plymouth.edu, addressed to the chair of the APR committee, by May 1st of the year requesting admission.
The Department of Nursing Admission, Progression & Retention Committee will review all transfer applications. Selection is based on:
- Space available, according to the following priority order:
- Students returning from an approved leave of absence (LOA)
- Change of major students and PSU alumni (internal transfer)
- External transfer applicants
- Students applying for readmission
- Meeting all progression requirements is required to enter the third nursing semester (see nursing curriculum). If two or more students meet all progression requirements equally, admission will be based on cumulative GPA in all prerequisite science courses taken.
- Internal transfer students can request to be placed on a waiting list for the fall semester in the year they applied.
Applicants will be notified by June 15th of the committee’s decision. Wait listed students will be notified as spaces become available up until the fall add/drop period closes in the year they applied.
