Standards for Readmission to the A.A.S.N. Program
Students who have an interruption in the normal progression of their nursing studies as a result of withdrawal from a nursing course, earning a grade lower than C in a required nursing or science course, or not being in compliance with other progression standards will no longer be enrolled in the associate degree nursing program.
The A.A.S.N. Admission, Progression and Graduation Committee considers grievances and appeals for readmission on an individual basis using the following standards:
- All required academic courses must be completed before consideration and/or action toward readmitting a student to the nursing program.
- An applicant must have a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.25 or better on a 4.0 scale to be considered for readmission.
- Readmission to the nursing program will be allowed only upon the recommendation of the nursing faculty. Recommendation of the faculty will be based upon potential success for program completion and on the National Council Licensing Examination for RN (NCLEX-RN). Refer to the Undergraduate Nursing Student Handbook for more detailed information about this procedure.
- The nursing faculty may stipulate that the applicant repeat a specified course or courses as a condition for readmission to the nursing program.
- Readmission is on a “space available” basis.
- Deadline for readmission application to a summer/fall term is June 15, and Dec. 15 for spring readmission.
- A student is allowed only one readmission to the nursing program. This one readmission negates future readmissions, except in extreme circumstances warranting approval of the department head and the dean of the College of Nursing and Allied Health.
- A student seeking readmission within two academic years after being withdrawn from the program is required to audit the last nursing lecture and lab courses he/she successfully completed prior to enrolling in subsequent nursing courses. If it has been more than two academic years, the student will be required to reenter the A.A.S.N. program and successfully complete the entire required nursing course sequence.
To begin the readmission process, an applicant will need to complete and submit this Readmission Application.
