Transfer of Credits for Nursing & EMS Core Courses

To transfer credits for Nursing and EMS core courses, students must have earned a minimum of a “B” grade in the course. City College does not accept transfer credits of NU/NUR prefix courses for the Nursing program. Semester credits are multiplied by one and one-third to convert them into quarter credits. Fractional portions of credits are rounded on a course-to-course basis.
