LVN to RN and Military applicants to the Victor Valley College Associate Degree Nursing program
Step 1
Complete all of the prerequisites for the Nursing program.
You can find all of the prerequisites HERE. NOTE: CLEP test results are not accepted.
Applicants will take a credit by exam against our Nursing Process 1. To take the credit by exam, you must have taken at least 12 units at Victor Valley College, have a GPA of 2.5 or better, and be currently enrolled. Per Admissions and Records, "Currently Enrolled" means taking or having taken a course during the same semester you are taking a credit by exam.
This is a College requirement, not a program requirement.
If you are applying based on licensure as an LVN, you will need to upload your current, unexpired license. This can be a current DCA license search printout.
If you have gone to another college or university, please make sure you forward your official transcripts to Victor Valley College. Please see our Admissions page for how to submit transcripts; https://www.vvc.edu/admissions-records.
If you have specific questions about transferring coursework from other colleges or universities, please Email our Nursing Counselors a copy of your unofficial transcripts and your specific question. They can be reached at nursingcounselor@vvc.edu.
Step 2
Apply to our program during our application period.
Our next applications will be accepted from February 5th to February 23rd.
To apply, you will need to upload several documents into your application.
-
You will need to upload your current LVN licensure (DCA results are valid)
-
You will need to upload your unofficial transcripts for all schools where you took your prerequisites for the nursing program. You will need to highlight your unofficial transcripts in yellow.
