Progression Policy. All students admitted to the nursing major must earn a minimum grade of “C” (2.0) in each required theory and/or clinical nursing course. Grades of C- and below indicates a nursing course failure. Students in the BSN accelerated 2nd degree program who fail a course will be moved to the traditional program pending space availability (see number 3).
Progression Policy. Students progress to the next term and/or level following successful completion of the program of studies and demonstration of desirable personal and professional attributes. Any student not completing all course requirements by the end of the course will fail the course with the exception of students who have extenuating circumstances, e.g., motor vehicle collision. A faculty committee assumes the responsibilities for periodic evaluations of student achievement and decides upon the progression of students at the close of each term or level of the program. Once the student is formally enrolled in the Xxxxx Xxxxx School of Nursing program, the student must complete the program within five academic years. Both theory and clinical components of a course must be satisfactorily completed at the same time to constitute passing the course. The faculty provides individual evaluation of students who will not complete the program within the required timeframe due to extenuating circumstances (i.e. military commitment or illness). Students must obtain a “C” in all College courses. If the student does not obtain a C, they are required to retake the course, obtaining a “C” or higher before progressing to the next level. (R: 8/18) Second Level to Third Level: At the completion of the second level, the student shall be recommended for progression to the third level provided the following conditions have been met:
Progression Policy. For students in the nursing program, the following grade scale will be utilized: A = 96 – 100 C = 74 – 76 A– = 91 – 95 C– = 70 – 73 B+ = 87 – 90 D+ = 67 – 69 B = 84 – 86 D = 64 – 66 B– = 83 – 80 D– = 60 – 63 C+ = 77 – 79 F = Below 60 GRADING A grade is given solely on the basis of the instructor’s judgment as to the student’s scholarly attainment. Instructors file course grade reports at the end of each term according to the following standard: A Excellent achievement. The student performs at a superior level and more than satisfies all requirements of the course by being able to treat the course content with unusual skill, often creatively. B Good work, better than satisfactory. The student does more than meet all requirements of the instructor for the course. C Satisfactory work. The student completes all assigned work in an acceptable fashion. D Poor work, barely passing. This grade represents work that is in some manner unsatisfactory. F Unacceptable work. AU Designates audit. The student does the reading assignments, attends all classes, but does not submit written work or take examinations. CR Designates credit. NC Designates no credit. IP Designates in progress. P Designates pass I Designates incomplete. Grades are sometimes modified by plus (+) or minus (-) with the following exceptions: Grades of A+ and D- are not given. Quality of grade points earned for each credit hour (unit) completed are assigned to each mark as follows: A = 4.0; A- = 3.7 B+ = 3.3; B = 3.0; B- = 2.7 C+ = 2.3; C = 2.0; C- = 1.7 Generic BSN students must achieve a grade of no less than a B- in the nursing courses, and a semester GPA of 3.0. If a student does not achieve a passing grade in a course, they may repeat the course once. Students may only repeat one course in the program. A second course that is not passed is automatic dismissal from the program. Student must maintain a 3.0 GPA to remain in the program. Students who fail a course must submit an application for return to the semester they failed the following year. Students will be considered for readmission if there is available space. Faculty will review students’ clinical and didactic performance at the end of each course and/or whenever deemed necessary using the theory and clinical evaluation tools. Students must achieve a passing grade in all courses within the nursing major. A passing theory grade is a B- as long as the semester cumulative score is 3.0. A passing clinical grade means you received 80% or higher o...
