Enrollment in a pre-licensure nursing program (ADN or BSN) requires a minimum grade of “B” in each nursing course for progression in the program. No more than one nursing course may be repeated. A second grade of less than a “B” in any nursing course will result in dismissal from the respective program. Students dismissed from one pre-licensure program are not eligible to apply to another pre-licensure program. Students are subject to guidelines found in the Pre-Licensure Nursing Program Continuation Policy.

Students who are unsuccessful in a science course must repeat the course until a “C” is achieved and, if applicable, are subjected to guidelines found in the Pre-Licensure Nursing Program Continuation Policy. All science prerequisites and co-requisites must be completed according to the guidelines in the Traditional Undergraduate Handbook in order to progress in the nursing program.
