Students may progress in the Associate of Science Degree Nursing Program when they attain the following requirements:

1. Earn a minimum grade of “C” (2.00) in each nursing course and maintain a minimum cumulative nursing GPA of 2.50. Evaluation of the nursing GPA occurs when the student has completed all 100-level nursing courses.
2. Earn a minimum grade of “C” (2.00) in each of the following cognate courses: Anatomy and Physiology I and II, Principles of Microbiology, Developmental Psychology, Introduction to Sociology, and Nutrition, and maintain a minimum cumulative cognate GPA of 2.50. Evaluation of the cognate GPA occurs when the student has completed all 100-level nursing courses.
3. Successfully repeat courses (after beginning nurses courses) in which the minimum grade of “C” (2.00) was not achieved. Students may only repeat courses under the following conditions:
4. One opportunity to repeat a nursing course due to a course failure.
5. One opportunity to repeat a nursing course due to a withdrawal.
6. One opportunity to repeat a nursing course due to the failure to achieve a 2.50 nursing GPA at the end of 100 level nursing courses.

A student may use each option only once during the nursing program.

1. Fulfill any remedial contracts (see the Department of Nursing Associate Degree Student Handbook Supplement).
2. Present annual verification of tuberculosis screening. If the test is positive, refer to the Communicable Disease Policy in the Student Handbook for additional information. Present updated immunizations including hepatitis B. Verify current certification in professional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) from the American Red Cross or the American Heart Association including infant, child and adult CPR and provide evidence of health insurance.

Students who do not complete a course or who do not progress with their class cannot be assured of placement in their choice of a subsequent course.
