- 5
When a student passes the NCLEX, the student is able to transfer a total of 90 units from CSM 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 College of San Mateo (CSM) nursing course that 1) was successfully completed at a CSM and 2) is required for the BSN program and 3) cannot be transferred from a CSM because of the 70 unit transfer limit.
