Transcript Evaluation

The 500-application problem

Four hundred to five hundred applications per cycle. Each one needs prereqs checked, quarter units converted, GPA computed for the six areas your nursing program requires. That is arithmetic, and arithmetic should not be the bottleneck.

COC Nursing Prerequisites

The six areas your evaluators check

Each must be C or better. Combined prereq GPA must be at least 2.75. When an applicant brings quarter units from another institution, the conversion is exact: multiply by 2/3. A 4-quarter-unit course becomes 2.67 semester units. The shortfall is systematic, and the evaluator below handles it automatically.

Run a transcript through the checker

Upload a file, paste from a transcript, or enter courses manually. Quarter units from De Anza, Foothill, or any quarter-system school convert on entry. The evaluator maps each course to a prereq area, computes the weighted GPA, and flags what is missing.

Quarter-to-Semester

The conversion your evaluators do by hand

Title 5 says 18 semester units equals 27 quarter units. That gives a factor of exactly 2/3. A 4-quarter-unit course becomes 2.67 semester units. The shortfall is systematic, and it compounds across a full transcript. This converter shows exactly where each applicant stands after conversion.

Quarter-to-Semester Converter

Slide to see how quarter units convert to semester equivalents. The conversion is exact and invertible.

2.67
semester units
0.33
units short of 3-unit minimum
4 quarter = 2.67 semester (short 0.33 of 3-unit minimum)
quarter_to_semester_roundtrip
semesterToQuarter (quarterToSemester q) = q
The conversion is exactly invertible. No rounding ambiguity.
The Rule
admitted_iff_all_three
admitted = true ↔ prereqs_met = true ∧ gpa_sufficient = true ∧ units_sufficient = true

Admission requires all three conditions. If any fails, the evaluator says which one and what is needed to fix it. The shortfall computation is kernel-checked. Your staff can trust the number.
