Victor Valley College Acceptance Rate, GPA, and Admission Requirements

VVC's nursing program will only accept transfer students who have one or fewer failures in another ADN program - two or more failures make a student permanently ineligible for the VVC program regardless of other qualifications. A student with a rocky start at a different nursing program should confirm their failure count against this specific threshold before investing time preparing a transfer application, since this is a hard, non-negotiable cutoff rather than a point deduction.

VVC's nursing application, updated under SB 1183 and AB 1891 multicriteria screening rules, allows applicants to submit an MLA-format letter (two-plus pages) describing special circumstances - including documented disabilities or EOPS-defined disadvantaged status - that can affect their points calculation under the state's required multicriteria framework. A student with a relevant circumstance should treat this letter as a real, scoring-relevant document worth drafting carefully, not an optional add-on, since it's specifically built into the state-mandated screening process.

VVC accepts TEAS scores taken within the last 5 years with a 70+ achieved within the applicant's first two attempts - but does not accept HESI scores or CLEP results for nursing prerequisites at all. A transfer student or returning applicant should verify their existing TEAS score falls within this 5-year, first-two-attempts window before either resubmitting an old score or scheduling an unnecessary retake.

VVC's nursing application shows applicants the exact "Counselors Worksheet" used for scoring after submission - meaning a student can see precisely which courses and documents earned points, but only after the application is already submitted. A student should review the worksheet criteria (available on VVC's nursing enrollment page) in advance of applying, and select prerequisite courses strategically (e.g., choosing whichever of two qualifying math courses yields more points) before submission, since points can't be recalculated retroactively once filed.
