If the student is readmitted into the nursing program, the nursing program director will provide the student
with a Readmission Agreement Letter. The Readmission Agreement Letter may include academic and/or
clinical practice requirements, request for medical releases for safe practice, or other requirements
specific to the involved student. This could mean that the student would need to take or retake classes,
sections of classes, labs, sections of labs, clinical, or sections of clinical as specified for readmission and
success in the nursing program.
Transfer
Transfer applicants are defined as those in good academic standing applying for admission into BMCC’s
nursing program from another OCNE institution. Transfers between OCNE partner programs are
considered only between the first and second years of the program. Communication between partner
schools will include director-to-director discussion of the transfer circumstances. Students with more than
one attempt in any OCNE school’s nursing program will not be eligible for transfer to BMCC’s nursing
program. BMCC does not accept coursework from institutions that are not regionally accredited. All
transfer applicants must meet all other admission requirements of the BMCC nursing program to include
all prerequisite course requirements.
In addition to meeting BMCC’s program admission application requirements for all entering students,
applicants must include and attach the following items with their application:
1. An official transcript evaluation completed by BMCC’s Records Office.
2. A recent (within 1 year) letter of good academic standing from the OCNE partner school’s
Nursing Program Director.
3. A written letter requesting transfer placement to the BMCC nursing program. All requests must
be completed and received by the fall entry deadline date listed above.
Prior to transfer, the applicant must meet the required standards per the Administrative Requirements for
Health Profession Student Clinical Training, OAR 409-030-0100 to 409-030-0250. Prior to admission,
students must undergo and pass another criminal background check and drug screen.
Students should understand that although co-admitted to the OHSU School of Nursing, those who choose
to transition from the Blue Mountain Community College Nursing Program to OHSU will have to undergo
a Criminal Background Check for OHSU at the time of transition and their ability to enroll in OHSU
courses may be negatively impacted by any criminal history in their background.
Should classroom and clinical resources become available, and upon faculty approval, BMCC’s
Admissions office will use the criteria outlined in the criteria for prioritization to process the requests for
transfer or readmission to the BMCC Nursing Program.
Criteria for Prioritization of Requests for Readmission or Transfer
When considering any request/application for readmission or transfer into the BMCC Nursing Program,
BMCC’s Admissions Office will prioritize the request for entry into the available spaces based on the
following criteria. Nursing faculty will assess readmission or transfer on a case-by-case basis and
readmission or transfer is not guaranteed.
Applicants for readmission or transfer into the BMCC Nursing Program will be prioritized (in descending
order) in the following three categories for available positions.
1. Top priority will be given to those students who withdrew from the BMCC Nursing Program within the
2022-2023 academic year in good academic standing. Good academic standing is defined as (1)
transcript evidence showing a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0; (2) cumulative credit completion rate of at
least 67% (completed BMCC credits divided by attempted BMCC credits); and (3) ability to complete the
