WITHDRAWAL POLICY

  1. An attempt is defined as having registered in the course for at least three weeks and appeared on the roster and/or received any grade (academic or administrative).
  2. A withdrawal from a nursing course is a first attempt.
  3. Students have one opportunity to withdraw from a nursing course and repeat that course.
  4. Students repeating a nursing course are required to earn a minimum of B- in order to pass that repeated nursing course.
  5. To progress in the nursing program, students must complete level requisite courses.
  6. The second withdrawal from a nursing course constitutes dismissal from the program.
  7. A student who withdraws for non-academic reasons must provide appropriate documentation to support the withdrawal.

There is no re-entry for students who have failed out of the program (failed 2 nursing courses). The student failing 2 nursing courses must see the Chair, and an advisor in Academic Advising Center (AAC) to provide guidance relative to other career options.

A student who withdraws for non-academic reasons must provide appropriate documentation to support the withdrawal.

The following student behaviors may lead to program dismissal (involuntary program withdrawal).

  • Unexcused absences according to the nursing policy
  • Unprofessional conduct
  • Failure to respond to a clinical error to the nursing personnel
