The City College Vocational Nursing Program is currently funded by the Regional Occupational Program. Due to legislation implemented over the course of the last 2 years, ROP programs serving adult students are being phased out to allow resources to support K-12 instructional activities. The ROP funding will expire June 30, 2011.
The San Diego Community College District is committed to acquiring additional funding to support the Vocational Nursing Program at City College. If funding is not obtained prior to June 30, 2011, City College will no longer accept new admissions to the Vocational Nursing program until such time as adequate resources are secured.
