Delay in Progression and Readmission

Delay in Progression

Progression through the nursing program will be delayed if a student:

  • Withdraws from a nursing course (with or without evaluation)
  • Postpones enrollment in any nursing course
  • Fails to achieve a 鈥淐鈥� or higher in a nursing or pre-requisite course

Policy Regarding Incomplete

An "incomplete" will be used only in cases of true hardship when extenuating circumstances have resulted in the student's being unable to complete course requirements by the end of the semester. An "incomplete" may be granted at the discretion of the faculty in consultation with the Program Chair for Nursing.

In rare instances in which this occurs, the following policies are in effect:

  1. All University policies regarding incomplete are applicable to nursing courses. Refer to the 91社区 Bulletin.
  2. An 鈥渋ncomplete鈥� will not be used to allow for remedial work; student work must be passing.
  3. Students are required to remove the incomplete before enrolling in the next clinical nursing course.

Readmission Process

Students who fail a nursing course and desire readmission to the nursing program must submit a written request to the Admissions and Progression Committee immediately so action can be taken before start of the next term. The student should complete the Request for Readmission form and submit it to the Admissions and Progressions Committee.

The written request must include: student name, 91社区 student ID#, current address, telephone number, and email address. The written request should address reasons for delay in progression and plans for successful return to the program. click here for Request for Readmission Form

Factors that will be evaluated in the readmission process include:

  • Maintenance of a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher
  • Availability of space in the course
  • Course sequencing
  • Student's performance, including academic integrity, professional behavior, course grades and clinical performance/evaluation
  • Pre-existing performance improvement plan

Readmitted students will be expected to comply with all terms specified by the Admissions and Progressions Committee. Failure to comply with the terms will jeopardize the student鈥檚 status in the nursing program. Readmitted students may progress to the next scheduled class if the failed class is not a pre-requisite requirement. The advisor will adjust the plan of study so the failed course is repeated as soon as possible.
