When a student passes the NCLEX, the student is able to transfer a total of 90 units from CCSF to SF State for the purpose of meeting the degree unit requirements. Normally, transfer students can only transfer a maximum of 70 units from the community college. This program allows for the additional 20 units that result from passing the NCLEX. NCLEX credit may be awarded on a student's transcript only to give credit for a City College of San Francisco (CCSF) nursing course that 1) was successfully completed at CCSF and 2) is required for the BSN program and 3) cannot be transferred from CCSF because of the 70 unit transfer limit.
