Advanced Placement Basic Guidelines

Individuals who have previously obtained college credit for courses required by Central School of Practical Nursing may be eligible for advanced placement in the following areas:

Students requesting advanced placement in any of the above subjects must have achieved a grade of "C" or better and the course must have been taken within three (3) years. An official transcript documenting course completion must be submitted to the Admissions & Promotions committee for evaluation before the student starts the program. CSPN does not offer "testing-out" on any coursework.

In addition, the student must pass – with a score of 77% or higher – a comprehensive examination in the course(s) for which they are requesting advanced placement. There is a non-refundable fee of $25 per test.

Tuition will be adjusted for those students who are advanced placed. Please see the financial officer for details.

For complete details on advanced placement policies, please refer to the Student Handbook at the school.

Note: The above information reflections a change in policy, effective 6/06.
