Nursing Transfer Students
Butler’s nursing program will consider transfers into the program on a case-by-case basis, for transfer students with previous successful completion of nursing curriculum in another pre-licensure nursing program, as approved by Kansas State Board of Nursing. Students wishing to transfer from another nursing program must complete the following requirements to be considered for Butler’s Associate of Applied Science in Nursing:
- Apply to Butler Community College.
- Submit online application for Butler Nursing Application form for Nursing Transfer students, which will include:
- An explanatory letter requesting the evaluation of transfer eligibility, by the applicant.
- Students must send all official transcripts including their nursing transcript and any other transfer hours to the Registrar’s office.
- A letter of recommendation from the dean or director of the prior nursing program is required. This letter is to be sent directly to the Nurse Administrator for the Butler Department of Nursing.
- All required information should be emailed or mailed to:
Butler Community College, Selective Admissions
Department of Nursing

Based on space availability, an evaluation will be completed on an individual basis to determine what semester or course level of the program the student may transfer to. Butler does not accept transfer students into the first semester of the nursing program. Students coming into first semester must complete all admission requirements and compete for a spot in the first semester of Butler’s nursing program.
If there are more applicants than spaces, the student is selected on a competitive basis by the combined GPA of the prerequisite courses. Prerequisite courses are the general education courses and others listed prior to the semester the student is eligible for being admitted. For example, a student eligible for admission to 2nd semester would need to have English Comp. I, General Psychology, Anatomy and Physiology, College Algebra or equivalent and Pathophysiology. Students will be officially accepted into the program pending completion of the student’s responsibilities as referenced in the Clinical Requirements and Policies sections of this handbook.
