Program Roadmap
Students enrolled in the CEP follow the Concurrent Enrollment Program ADN to BSN roadmap designed to satisfy the Associate Degree in Nursing from EVC and the Nursing BS requirements in 5 semesters or only 2.5 years of enrollment at SJSU.
- Semester one requires students to take one nursing course at SJSU and 9 units of the EVCC Associate Degree in Nursing Program.
- Semester two requires students to take one nursing course at SJSU and 9 units of the EVCC Associate Degree in Nursing Program
- Semester three requires students to take two SJSU courses (one SJSU nursing course and one SJSU elective course), and 9 units of the EVCC Associate Degree in Nursing Program.
- Semester four requires students to take 9 units of the EVCC Associate Degree in Nursing Program and two SJSU courses (one SJSU nursing course and one Upper Division GE Course (Area V), and will complete any other remaining Undergraduate University Graduation Requirements .
- Students completing semester four will apply and pass the NCLEX-RN examination before entering into the final semester of the CEP program.
- Semester five continues with four SJSU nursing courses.
Failure to Progress
The CEP program is a rigorous curriculum that will require strict criterion for participation. For students who enter the program the following criteria has been agreed upon.
- Students who fall out of progression within the Associate Degree Program will defer to EVCC’s progression and disqualification policies. Students who are disqualified from EVCC are automatically disqualified from SJSU’s CEP program.
- Students who do not pass the NCLEX-RN examination during the interim semester will have the option to move out of the CEP program and into the existing Nursing, RN to BSN Concentration, BSN program at SJSU when licensure is obtained. The impact to the student may include additional semesters of course work depending on when the student obtains licensure.
- Students who fail any SJSU nursing courses during semesters 1 thru 4 of the CEP program will be moved into the existing regular EVCC program and removed from the CEP. Students can apply to the Nursing, RN to BSN Concentration, BSN program at SJSU after graduating from the ADN program as a regular progression student.
