Practical Nursing Transfer Students
Applicants who wish to transfer from another program of nursing must:
- Meet all admission requirements of the receiving institution.
- Notify the Coordinator of the Practical Nursing Program in writing, stating anticipated
entry date and reason for transfer; and have a faculty member from the program previously
attended submit a letter of recommendation to the receiving institution.
- If more than three years have lapsed since initial enrollment in the first nursing course in any nursing program, an applicant must repeat all nursing courses.
Completed transfer requests will be reviewed based on the following criteria:
- First and foremost, space availability.
- Previously completed nursing course for content applicability to the nursing program
at West Kentucky Community and Technical College. This may include, but not limited
to, review of course description and course syllabi. This is necessary to establish
the most appropriate entry point into the WKCTC Practical Nursing Program.
- Transfer students must demonstrate retained competency, as nursing courses are designed to build upon previous courses. Retained competency is demonstrated by successful completion (77% or higher) of the final exam of the most recent course the student will be receiving transfer credit.
