A student who has used all of the options stated in number three (3) of the progression policy is not eligible for readmission to the Associate Degree Nursing Program.

Readmission is not automatic and is contingent on available clinical/class space. Students will be readmitted under current program policies.

Students who are eligible will be considered for readmission to the program when they complete the following:

  1. Submit a Readmission Form to the Department of Nursing no later than six weeks prior to the beginning of the trimester in which they wish to enroll.
  2. Have a cumulative GPA of 2.50.
  3. Present annual verification of tuberculosis screening. If the test is positive, refer to the Communicable Disease Policy in the Student Handbook for additional information. Verify current certification in professional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) from the American Red Cross or the American Heart Association including infant, child and adult CPR.
  4. Meet specified requirements as set forth by the Department of Nursing regarding the individual student.
  5. Successfully demonstrate validation of nursing skills (see Fee Schedule in the Financial Information section for Nursing Competency Validation exam fees).

Students reapplying to the program must submit a Readmission Form to the Department of Nursing no later than six weeks prior to the beginning of the trimester in which they wish to enroll.

If a lapse of time greater than two years occurs in a student’s program of study, prior nursing credits will not automatically be accepted. The student may petition to validate nursing knowledge and skills and have prior nursing credits accepted through written examinations and clinical performance evaluations.
