For regulatory, accreditation and other business purposes, the online learning management system may be accessed and observed by persons other than Kentucky State University School of Nursing students, faculty and staff. Access to courses may be granted by the program director only after review of the request and determination that access is necessary and appropriate, does not infringe on the activities of learners and faculty, and does not threaten the academic integrity of the online course. Although the learning management system is not open to public access, it is not a private or confidential domain; neither students nor faculty should assume privacy within the online course.
Oversight of the Graduate Nursing Program Academic Regulations and Policies is given to the School of Nursing. Graduate nursing students are expected to become familiar with these regulations, as they apply to all students enrolled in graduate nursing courses at Kentucky State University in the School of Nursing.
