PROGRESSION IN THE PROGRAM
Progression in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program is
contingent upon satisfactory academic achievement in all required
courses. To maintain satisfactory academic standing, students
must attain a GPA of 2.0 or above by the end of their junior
year and must obtain a C or above in all nursing and science
courses. Although the University accepts a D as a passing grade,
the grading policy of the Bolton School is A, B, C, F. Students
who receive two unsatisfactory grades (D or F) in nursing and/or
natural and behavioral science courses will be subject to separation
from the school of nursing. See the Undergraduate Student Handbook
for a description of the criteria for academic standing.
Students who receive a grade of Incomplete (I), given at the
discretion of the instructor for the course, must complete course
requirements by the eleventh week of the following semester.
It is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor
of the circumstances preventing completion of all assigned work.
In the absence of notification or adequate justification, the
instructor may give the student a final grade that assumes a
failing grade for the missing work. If a student fails to submit
the work required for removing the Incomplete by the date established
or by the eleventh week of the following semester, the instructor
will give a failing grade (F). The grade will convert from I
to F when the deadline for making up incomplete grades from
a previous semester has passed.
Students who receive an F for a nursing course must register
for that course the next semester that it is offered. If the
overall GPA falls below the required cumulative GPA, the student
is placed on academic probation. If the GPA does not improve
the next semester, the Academic Standing Committee of the University
Undergraduate Faculty will review the student’s record
to determine whether extenuating circumstances warrant an additional
semester of probation or separation from the university.
