年代tudents are responsible for contacting Student Services, Room 216, Henderson Hall to make arrangements for repeating a nursing course.
Readmission to the B.S.N. sequence for any reason is on a “space available” basis. Students already progressing in sequence have priority in placement over those requesting re-enrollment. Accelerated B.S.N. students have priority in summer scheduling.
年代tudents are enrolled in courses using the following guidelines in order:
1. Are in good standing but lost a semester with verified illness or military service.
2. Have failed and successfully repeated a clinical course.
3. Have withdrawn from one course.
4. Have withdrawn from a course more than once.
5. Cumulative grade point average at the time of registration.

Clinical Compliance Policy

This policy applies to all students enrolled in B.S.N., M.S.N., D.N.P. degree programs and postmaster's certificates. Students must provide documentation of the following items to a third-party vendor that is approved to track and maintain student health and other compliance documents. Students are responsible for all costs incurred in meeting the requirements for clinical compliance and for establishing and maintaining their third party account profile. Students in the B.S.N., M.S.N. and D.N.P. degree programs and College of Nursing post-master's certificates must be fully compliant with this policy prior to registering for their first practicum course.

年代tudents who have allergic reactions, medical waivers, refuse vaccinations or other physiological conditions that preclude them from receiving vaccinations are required to contact the Office of Student Services upon admission to their academic program. Such conditions may prevent students from completing clinical/practical coursework at some partner agencies which may result in a delay of graduation.
