Registration Acknowledgement and Responsibility Statement

By registering for classes, I acknowledge that timely graduation and continued eligibility for financial aid (including Cal Grant, if applicable) require appropriate unit enrollment as outlined by the University. I understand that I am responsible for knowing and complying with all add, drop, and withdrawal deadlines; monitoring my course schedule through LancerLink; and communicating with my Student Success Coach, Admissions Counselor, and Financial Aid as required. I acknowledge that registration may be administratively adjusted by the University when warranted. I understand that failure to officially drop or withdraw from courses or the University may result in academic penalties, loss or reduction of financial aid, and financial charges. I agree to fulfill all financial obligations to California Baptist University in accordance with University policies and deadlines, and I understand that access to grades, transcripts, and diplomas may be restricted until my account is paid in full. By proceeding, I confirm that I have read, understand, and agree to the policies and degree requirements outlined in the University Catalog.

Identifying Fall 2026 Courses

 

This is the Pre-Nursing Fact Sheet. This will provide the necessary information for you to enter the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). In order to enter the BSN program, you will need to apply and be accepted into the program. The first page here provides vital information regarding application deadlines, eligibility information, and selection information. It is highly recommended to read this page carefully as it has vital information.

On the second page, the required Pre-Nursing Requisites on the left side list all the courses needed before beginning the BSN program. If you are a transfer student, it is recommended to mark off the courses you have already completed and plan to register for courses you have not yet completed. It is recommended not to take more than 2 lab science courses in a single semester.

The right side of the page shows courses that are also required to graduate but are not required to be taken before starting the BSN program. These courses are recommended to be taken if you have room in your semester. However, the prerequisite courses on the left side of the page are recommended to be taken before the courses on the right side.

Lastly, on the third page is the Pre-Nursing Sample Plans. These are very helpful in determining which courses to take in each semester. There is a 4-year, 4 and a half-year plan, and a 5-year plan. Please refer to the first page of the Fact Sheet to best determine the best plan for you.
