Undergraduate Academic Progression Policy
This policy delineates the academic standards for pre-licensure*
students admitted to the undergraduate nursing program. The following
requirements are necessary for progression in the nursing program.
Overall Criteria:
- All prerequisite courses and required Nursing courses may only be repeated one time.
- Successful completion of prerequisite courses is defined as a grade of "C" or better according to the University grading scale.
- Successful
completion of required nursing courses is defined as a "C" or better
according to the School of Nursing Grading Scale.
- A student who earns a "D" or "F" in the same
required nursing course for a second time will be dismissed from the
nursing major and counseling relative to other majors/options will be
provided.
- A student who earns a "D" or "F" in any two
required nursing courses will be dismissed from the nursing major and
counseling relative to other majors/options will be provided.
- Late
course drop, with the designation of withdraw failing (WF), from a
prerequisite or required nursing course is considered a failure.
- Students
who wish to return to the University after a leave of absence or re-enroll after withdrawing will re-enter under the current curricular
requirements. Based on demonstration of clinical skills, an independent
study course may be advised. In addition, scheduling in clinical
courses may depend on availability of clinical space.
- In very extreme situations, the Director of the School of Nursing may make exceptions to this policy.
*Pre-licensure---students without an RN license, which includes BS and AD students.
