Student Nurses Association
Student Nurses Association (SNA) is an organization on the Stanislaus State campus made up of those in the nursing program, those that wish to be in the nursing program, or those just interested in nursing.

Scoring Changes for Pre-Licensure Admission
The School of Nursing is introducing a more holistic Pre-Licensure Nursing Program admission process, balancing points across academics, life experiences, and attributes rather than emphasizing academics alone.
Date of implementation is Spring 2027 admission, with those who apply during the August 1-31, 2026 application cycle.

Admission into programs leading to licensure does not guarantee that students will obtain a license. Licensure requirements are set by agencies that are not controlled by or affiliated with the CSU and requirements can change at any time. For example, licensure requirements can include evidence of the right to work in the United States (e.g., social security number or tax payer identification number) and successfully passing a criminal background check. Students are responsible for determining whether they can meet licensure or credentialing requirements. The CSU will not refund tuition, fees, or any associated costs, to students who determine subsequent to admission that they cannot meet licensure or credentialing requirements.
Students are required upon acceptance into the program to show proof of immunization or positive titer for the required immunizations.
- Students have the right to refuse any required or recommended immunization.
- Students will sign a refusal form which will be kept in their student file.
- The School of Nursing will make reasonable attempts to place students in settings where they will be able to complete their clinical assignments. However, refusal to accept some immunizations might result in an inability to be placed in the clinical and/or practicum setting, resulting in a lack of progression and unsuccessful completion of the program.
- As a result of lack of immunization, if accepted in the clinical or practicum setting, students may be required to wear facial masks.
- While the University allows for medical and religious exemptions for some vaccines, most of our clinical facilities require nursing students to be fully vaccinated, including the Covid vaccination. While we attempt to accommodate exemptions, lack of vaccination may render the student unable to attend clinicals and thus will delay or stop their program completion.
