Mount Carmel College of Nursing reserves the right to change any course requirements. You must apply and be accepted to MCCN before any transfer credit will be officially awarded. MCCN has designed an integrated curriculum, and students are strongly encouraged to complete coursework, especially science courses, at MCCN.

GPA

Mount Carmel College of Nursing calculates a cumulative GPA based on all completed college coursework from all colleges/universities attended. No coursework is excluded.

In addition, it is important to know that Mount Carmel follows a semester schedule. If you are or have attended a college/university that is on a quarter system, that GPA will be converted to a semester GPA in order to calculate your cumulative GPA.

Citizenship Requirements

Mount Carmel College of Nursing is able to accept U.S. citizens, permanent residents and non-resident aliens. If you are a permanent resident or non-resident alien you must submit a copy of your visa or permanent resident card.

The College is not able to assist students whose visa requires I-20 documentation. MCCN is not an I-20 granting institution.

In addition, for those students who have international transcripts, these documents must be evaluated by the World Education Services (WES).

World Education Services (WES) is the leading source of international education intelligence. WES is a not for profit organization with over thirty years’ experience evaluating international credentials.

WES provides more than 50,000 evaluations each year that are accepted by thousands of academic institutions, employers, licensing and certification boards and government agencies in the U.S. and Canada. Their robust and comprehensive credential evaluation database, known as AICES, is a powerful source of information about education systems and evaluation methodology around the world.

WES evaluations compare your academic credentials earned anywhere in the world to those issued in the U.S. Whatever the level of your studies, whether you have completed a degree or not, an evaluation can help you qualify for further education or employment opportunities in the U.S. WES evaluations are widely accepted and the most trusted and requested brand of report, so you have come to the right source.
