• Applicants who apply for readmission to an Undergraduate nursing program and have been out of the program for two or more academic semesters (fall and spring), must meet the admission criteria and follow the plan of study in effect at the time of reapplication and readmission.
• Any student who has not been enrolled in a nursing course with a practicum component (integrated or stand-alone) for more than one semester will be required to demonstrate clinical skills as a function of readmission consideration, in the form of a clinical skills verification “check-off”, for all prior practicum components. Skill requirements and acceptable levels of performance will be provided prior to check-off.
• All skills verification (check-offs) must be completed at least two (2) weeks before the semester begins.
• If a student fails any portion of the skills check-off during the first attempt, the student is required to complete eight (8) additional hours of documented practice prior to the second skills check-off opportunity.
• In the event of a second failure on the same skill or skill set, the offer for readmission shall be rescinded.
• If a student fails a nursing course, but passes the co-requisite clinical, they must retake both the didactic and the clinical course concurrently in order to progress.
• Readmission is not guaranteed to any student for any nursing course.
• Readmission decisions will be based upon the student's complete record of academic performance, including academic integrity records, the number of repeated nursing (NUR) courses, the nature of documented deficiencies (academic, clinical, ethical, professional), and evidence that the student has sought or will seek ways to correct deficient areas. Preference will be given to students who demonstrated satisfactory clinical performance, had the highest course average at time of withdrawal or failure, and have resolved issues that contributed to failure to progress in the program.
• Readmission is dependent upon space availability and the student's ability to meet curriculum requirements of the cohort to which readmission is sought.
• Following readmission, students who fail or withdraw from a nursing course are not eligible for readmission to resume the nursing sequence. However, students may submit an application to restart the nursing program. Students may be eligible to apply to restart the nursing program only once.
