Progression from one semester to the next in the Pre-licensure, MSN and DNP components of the DNP Program is contingent upon passing grades in all courses taken in the preceding semester and an overall GPA of 3.0. (Refer to the School of Nursing Bulletin for full policy on progression.)

NOTE: Successful completion of all pre-licensure courses is necessary to sit for the Professional Nursing Licensing Examination (NCLEX-RN). The Bolton School has the right to determine a student's readiness to sit for this exam and also reserves the right to restrict testing until the student demonstrates a readiness to pass the examination.
