Duration of Degree Program
The baccalaureate program for registered nurses must be completed within seven calendar years from the date of initial registration in the program. Students may complete the program on a full- or part-time basis. Part-time students are encouraged to complete some or all of the support courses prior to making application to the program.
Transfer Credit
Transfer credit from outside the Faculty of Nursing is limited to ten half courses. Students must complete the remainder of the program, including six half nursing courses, while registered at the University of Calgary.
Courses taken at a university or community college level may be transferable for credit provided that these courses were not used towards the RN diploma.
Students should also be aware that regardless of the number of transfer credits awarded, the program cannot be completed in less than three academic terms.
