Chabot College nursing program: how to get in

Associate degree (ADN): requirements, deadlines, NCLEX pass rates and data

Hayward, CA · Public · BRN-approved · No national nursing accreditation reported

Small 2024–25 cohort. The BRN's 2024–25 table shows a single first-time tester for this program, after 23 to 33 a year from 2020–21 to 2023–24. One result can swing the rate from 0% to 100%, so read 2024–25 alongside the five-year figure. We found no public source explaining the small cohort. (BRN NCLEX-RN pass rates, checked ).

Chabot College ADN in Hayward: selection method: points and lottery (hybrid); published TEAS minimum: 62%; 100 BRN-approved new students a year; listed cost $3,772-$3,910 (Tuition). From the school’s pages and the BRN; details and sources below.

    Admissions requirements

    Here is what Chabot College publishes about applying to its ADN program, taken from the school’s own website, catalog or application documents. Each row links to the page we used and shows the date we checked it. Requirements change from cycle to cycle, so confirm with the school before you apply.

    How we label selection. SEAPHE sorts each school’s stated method into one of five groups: Lottery, Points (ranked), Points and lottery (hybrid), Holistic review or Eligibility-based. The school’s own wording appears under the label, with a link to the page we used. How California nursing schools choose students.

    Published applicant and admit counts: numbers the school itself publishes about its applicants and admissions, with the term or year the school gives; formats vary by school. No term given: the school published this figure without saying which cycle it covers. The BRN does not publish per-school applicant or admit counts.
