RN to BSN process for granted and transfer credit

Special Note - Any RN to BSN (N.BSN.RNSPEC) student needs their TRANSFER CREDIT(TR credit) entered AFTER the GRANTED CREDIT(CR credit) has been entered for it to be displayed correctly on the transcript. If for any reason transfer credit is added before the granted credit, the granted credit will attach to the last transfer institution. The credit should not be displayed this way. The transfer credit will then have to be deleted, then enter granted credit and finally re-enter the transfer credit.

TRANSFER CREDIT

Hold all RN to BSN student transcripts until after we have received the RN to BSN e-form, ”CONHP Application for Credit”, in Perceptive to apply the granted credit. After the granted credit has been entered then apply the transfer credit to the students' record.

GRANTED CREDIT

In the RN to BSN program there is a list of courses the RN student’s will be granted once the student completes the first course (NUR-275) in the program at Valparaiso University. The College of Nursing and Healthcare Professions(CONHP) will then complete an e-form and submit it to the Registrar’s office via Perceptive. The list of courses a RN student will receive are:

NUR 203 NUR 210 IPE 213 NUR 325

NUR 341 NUR 351 NUR 354 NUR 356

NUR 425 NUR 458 NUR 480

These courses are subject to change. Please consult CONHP on current courses.

Once the “CONHP Application for Credit” has been approved by the dean in Perceptive then these courses can be applied to the student record via TSUM in Colleague.

  1. Click “Save” and “Update” and continue on with the rest of the course granted to the RN to BSN students. The finally click “Save” and “Update” when leaving the TSUM screen.

You are done. You can continue on with the next student.

TIPS -

  1. If you accidently entered a test and need to delete it, please remember to detail into the EQUIV and change the course to “PR”. This will allow you then to delete the test from TSUM.

  2. Keep in mind that a THEO course has to be completed in residency.
