Candidates are selected for the Palomar College Associate Degree Nursing Program from among those applicants who have met the pre-entrance course requirements and  the cumulative 2.5 or higher GPA (Grade Point Average) in the science prerequisites (Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology). Meeting eligibility requirements will NOT guarantee immediate admission. If there are more qualified applicants than spaces available within the Program, applicants will be randomized into Group A and Group B and then added onto the existing waiting list.

Group A: This group will consist of applicants who have completed ALL science and math pre-entrance requirements to the Program with a grade of "C" or better PRIOR to application to the Program.

Group B: This group will consist of applicants who have Work-in-Progress for the science or math pre-entrance requirements during the period of application to the Program.
