A student who is hospitalized must present a “return to work” certificate from their physician to the Director for Undergraduate Programs, before returning to classroom/practicum areas. Other circumstances that may affect a student's safety shall also require a return-to-work certificate (Examples: communicable disease, childbirth, accidents). It is the student's responsibility to report such situations to the clinical faculty and the Director for Undergraduate Programs. Failure to notify University personnel of these situations may result in dismissal from the Program.
To be considered attending for federal financial aid reporting purposes, students enrolled in online courses must either: 1) log onto the University's learning management system, such as Canvas, enter the online course and complete the acknowledgment page from the syllabus, or 2) complete a course assignment before the reporting date. Note: Logging into the course by itself does not confirm attendance.
Students who have not 1) verified their attendance by either method above and 2) failed to communicate with the instructor by the reporting deadline, shall be designated as non-attending, and requested to be removed from the course by the University Registrar.
Course and practicum days and hours may vary from those stated in the University Catalog and Registration Schedule in order to meet student learning and program needs. This schedule will not exceed the maximum course hours required by the University. Scheduled changes will be made in writing and provided to students. The changes should not conflict with other course schedules for other University programs. If a conflict occurs, the student should communicate this occurrence in writing to the Director for Undergraduate Nursing Programs for subsequent reconciliation.
