Students in the MN program:
GRADES:
- need to earn a “B” or higher in any course that is closely tied to licensure. These are called Category I courses and include the following: 500, 501, 503, 504, 505, 506, 508, 509, 511, 512, 514, 518, and 519.
- need to earn a “C” or higher in Category II courses: BIO 501, MOL 600, NUR 510, NUR 515, NUR 531, NUR 631, and NUR 640. Although the student can earn a "C" in these courses, his/her cumulative GPA must remain 3.0 or higher.
- will receive an early warning at midterm if he/she is not passing a Category I course with a “B” or higher, or a Category II course with a “C” or higher. The student will receive this warning via college e-mail.
ACADEMIC PROBATION:
Students are placed on academic probation if either of the following conditions occur:
PROGRAM DISMISSAL:
Students may be on probation for one semester; if the student earns a “C” in a Category I course in a subsequent semester or the cumulative GPA remains below a 3.0, the student will be dismissed from the program. A student who fails a Category I or II course will be dismissed from the program.
READMITTANCE:
Readmittance to the MN program is not possible if dismissed due to academic issues. If a student has completed both sessions of the first summer semester successfully, and leaves the program in a subsequent semester for non-academic reasons (e.g. health problem, family emergency, etc.), every effort will be made to allow the student to return the following year; however no guarantee can be made. Admittance will depend on the availability of a clinical placement. Please see the Master of Nursing Program Student Handbook for additional policies and procedures that apply to MN students.
