Nursing Program Grade Requirements
Students must earn a minimum grade of “C+” in all NURS courses, using the scale outlined in the Grading section of this catalog. Courses in which a “C+” or better is not achieved must be repeated. Students who fal the same course twice or fail a third course (including General Education courses) will be dismissed from the University. Medication math competence is required in core clinical courses. If a student is unable to pass the medication math test after three attempts, the clinical course is failed. Withdrawal from the clinical course is not an option. The student will also be required to withdraw from the concurrent theory course. The specific course syllabus provides more information.
Pre-licensure didactic and clinical courses are taken concurrently (e.g. NURS 201 and NURS 210L). If a student fails a didactic course, it will be necessary to enroll in NURS 499 Independent Study in Nursing, when repeating the didactic course. This course provides the student an opportunity to apply knowledge to clinical scenarios.
