Advanced Placement Wait List

Cabrillo’s Nursing program has an Application/Selection Process that allows Advanced Placement students to submit an application at any time, once all prerequisites have been completed. Those who submit a completed application packet, and who have completed the pre-requisites with the required GPA, will be added to our waitlist, in order, based on the certified mail postmark date of their application packet. We rigorously control the wait list based exclusively on the application postmark.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT WAIT LIST

The required post mark date for the Fall 2009

ADVANCED PLACEMENT WAIT LIST INTENT FORM

was 10/17/09.

Wait list positions cannot be given out over the telephone or via email.

The Advanced Placement Wait List will be posted to the web site for one month, twice a year, on the first day of MARCH and OCTOBER.

Students who do not want their name included in the list published to the web site must submit said request in writing via postal mail to: Cabrillo College Nursing Program, 6500 Soquel Drive, Aptos, CA, 95003 or email to nursing@cabrillo.edu.

In order to maintain your position on our wait list all Advanced Placement Wait List students must print an Advanced Placement Wait List Intent Form, complete it and mail it to our office via certified mail EVERY MARCH AND OCTOBER, postmarked by the date specified on the form. Advanced Placement Wait List Intent Forms are posted to the web site on the first day of March and October. The mailing address and the required post mark date for the Advanced Placement Wait List Intent Form is noted specifically on the Advanced Placement Wait List Intent Form. Once the postmark due date has past, the Advanced Placement Wait List Intent Forms will be removed from the web site.

Failure to submit Advanced Placement Wait List Intent Forms by the required postmark date, via certified mail, will result in your removal from the wait list.

The Cabrillo Nursing Program offers positions to Advanced Placement  students on a space available basis only.  Spaces are made available in our program when current students withdraw from our program. Consequently it is difficult to predict when, or how many, Advanced Placement positions will be available for any given semester.

The length of the waitlist can fluctuate greatly over time, and should not deter committed students from pursuing their goals. Please check the Cabrillo Nursing Program web page regularly for information about how to use your time on the wait list productively. We post valuable information about professional certificates, educational opportunities, financial aid, program requirements and other information pertinent to students pursuing a career in health care. The web site is an invaluable link to our program and the health care education opportunities in our area. 

While on the wait list, maintaining accurate contact information is essential. It is extremely important that you notify the Nursing Program Office, in writing, of any changes to your mailing address, phone number, and email. Contact update info may be sent via email to nursing@cabrillo.edu or via postal mail to Cabrillo College Nursing Program, 6500 Soquel Drive, Aptos, CA,  95003. You may also bring your contact info updates to our office which is located in room 1550 on the lower campus. Contact info updates will not be accepted over the phone! We will use the contact information you provide to communicate with you. If we are unable to reach you by phone, email or postal mail, you will be removed from the waitlist.
