Nursing (Transition Nursing) Progression Standards

 Return to: Transition Nursing  

Failure to meet progression standards will result in suspension from the program.

• The student will maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 in general education courses and nursing courses combined.
• The student will successfully complete all components of a nursing program course (theory and clinical) to pass the course. Failing the clinical component results in a course grade of “F” regardless of the time in the semester, and the student is ineligible to receive a “W” or “WA”.
• The student will sequentially complete (without interruption) the nursing program courses over 3 semesters.
• The general education courses and nursing program courses must be completed with a grade of “C” or higher. Grades from all institutions are subject to this policy.
• A grade less than a “C”, a withdrawal (“W”, “WA”, or “WF”), failure to complete a pre- or co-requisite course, or failure to progress in the program will be considered as one semester attempt to complete nursing program courses.
• The student may attempt NUR 201 one (1) time. If the student is unsuccessful, the student cannot progress in the program or reapply for the Transition Nursing Program Option, but will be eligible to apply for the Associate Degree in Nursing Program through competitive admission.
• The student may attempt each NUR course (with the exception of NUR 201) no more than two (2) times. If the student is unsuccessful after the second attempt for a course, the student will not be able to progress in the program and may apply for the Associate Degree in Nursing Program through competitive admission.
• The student may apply for readmission to repeat NUR courses (with the exception of NUR 201), based on space availability, as long as the nursing program is completed in 4 semesters and the student has not been unsuccessful in the same course twice. Any student unable to complete the program in 4 semesters may apply for the Associate Degree in Nursing Program through competitive admission.
• The student will maintain current Basic Life Support (BLS) for Health Care Provider certification through the American Heart Association. Online certification/recertification is not accepted.
• The student will maintain current documentation of health status according to program requirements.
