Citrus College Acceptance Rate, GPA, and Admission Requirements

For Citrus College's Fall 2026 ADN cycle specifically, an ATI TEAS score cannot be older than February 2, 2025 (a concrete, cycle-specific cutoff date, not a generic "one year" rule a student can self-calculate incorrectly), and ONLY the ATI TEAS Version 7 is accepted - older TEAS versions, even if otherwise valid, are rejected outright. If a student tested on an earlier TEAS version or tested before the specific cutoff date for their target cycle, they must retest entirely; partial credit or version-bridging is not offered. Confirm the EXACT cutoff date for the specific application cycle being targeted, since this date shifts every cycle and isn't a fixed annual rule.

Citrus explicitly requires that ALL official college/university transcripts (regardless of whether they're even relevant to nursing) be submitted to Admissions and Records PRIOR TO submitting the ADN application - submitting the nursing application first and transcripts "soon after" is treated as out of order and risks the application being incomplete at the deadline. A transfer student with credits from multiple institutions should start the transcript-collection process months ahead, since each external institution's own processing time is the real bottleneck, not Citrus's own turnaround.

Citrus selects ADN candidates exclusively via a published Multi-Criteria point system once all prerequisites are verified complete, with up to 60 students admitted per cycle - but the actual number seated is explicitly described as variable depending on the applicant pool's strength in a given cycle, not a fixed guarantee. A borderline applicant should not assume that meeting bare minimums (2.5 prerequisite science GPA, 2.5 cumulative GPA, 62% TEAS) guarantees a seat in a strong-applicant-pool semester; minimums establish ELIGIBILITY to be scored, not admission itself.

Citrus offers dedicated ADN Application Workshops (not recorded, and not required to submit an application, but strongly recommended) plus access to nursing-specific counselors who review transcripts for course equivalencies and discuss eligibility - distinct from general academic counseling. Because course equivalency determination for science prerequisites can be genuinely ambiguous (especially for transfer coursework), a student with any non-Citrus prerequisite coursework should specifically book a nursing counselor appointment, not rely on a general counselor's read of how outside coursework maps to Citrus's specific requirements.
