Petitions for Substitution must be submitted before applying to the Nursing Program.  It is the student’s responsibility to request official transcripts and course descriptions for the year the course was completed and attach catalog course descriptions to the Petition.  Official transcripts must be mailed directly from the issuing college to College of Marin, Counseling Department, Kentfield, CA 94904 between September 1 and October 31 for admission the following fall.  Those who submit the petition for substitution after October 31 are not guaranteed a decision in time for the RN application date.  The Petition for Substitution will then be submitted and reviewed by Admissions and Records (Academic Standards Committee).  The original approved/denied copy will be kept in the student file in counseling and a copy of the petition will be sent to the student.

Students who successfully petition for substitution must attach a copy of the approval of their petition to their Application for the Nursing Program.
