Progression Policies
Concurrent Courses
Students enrolled in both tracks of the BSN program are expected to successfully complete the concurrent didactic and practicum components of all courses as a condition of continued progression in the nursing program.
- Receipt of a letter grade of less than a 'C' or a grade of 'unsatisfactory', 'incomplete', or 'withdraw' will prevent the student from progression to the next designated course sequence.
- Students who earn a satisfactory grade in either the classroom or the practicum, but not in both courses, will not be allowed to progress until a satisfactory grade is achieved in the other component. However, because the courses are concurrent prerequisites, failure of either theory or clinical practicum will require a repeat for a grade of both courses. Failure of either course at the time of repeat will serve as grounds for program dismissal.
