To apply for the basic BSN program, two separate applications are required. One for admission to the university through CSU Cal State Apply, and a supplemental nursing program application through NursingCAS, once all program eligibility requirements are met.
The CSU Cal State Apply and NursingCAS applications are separate systems and have their own processes and timelines.
