Combination course

Are you needing to enter combination course? The grid below shows some possible examples. The courses list with & need to be split on your application. In the processing of your application our Admissions and Records team will ensure the total GPA is calculated correctly based on the units and semester verse quarter systems.

Use our Nursing-Course-Equivalencies to ensure your course is accepted.

Example: Biology | Folsom Lake College (losrios.edu) at Folsom Lake the anatomy and physiology courses are taught together in a two-course sequence

You will split the units as evenly as possible in the course areas and place the grade you earned in each course.

both bio courses

 

 

 

If earned an A in BIOL 430 and a B in BIOL 431

This is how it would be entered on the nursing application:

Anatomy: BIOL 430,431, 5 units Grade: A 

Physiology: BIOL 430,431, 5 units Grade: B

Example: Biology Lake Tahoe the anatomy and physiology courses are taught together in a three-course sequence

Lake Tahoe 3 bios

 

 

 

 

You will split the units as evenly as possible in the course areas and place the grade you earned in each course.

If you earned an A in BIO 203, an B in BIO 204, and a B in BIO 205

Each course above is worth 5 units

This is how it would be entered on the nursing application:

Anatomy: BIO203,204,205, 7.5 units, Grade: A

Physiology: BIO203,204,205, 7.5 units, Grade: A

 

Example: Anatomy taught as a two-course sequence

Human Anatomy BIO 7A 2.5 units

Human Anatomy BIO 7B 2.5 units

You would need to calculate the grade to input into the application as a whole grade: A/B/C

For example: Bio 7A 2.5 units with grade A, Bio 7B 2.5 units would be entered as a grade of a B
5 semester units in the Anatomy section of the application

7.5 grade pts, 3.50 GPA = B 

2.5 units + 2.5 units = 5 units
2.5 x 4 (A) = 10
2.5 x 3 (B) = 7.5
10 + 7.5 = 17.5
17.5 / 5 units = 3.5 GPA = B
B = 3 in our Merit Based tool as we only accept whole grades
