Kentucky State University strives to maintain an academic and social environment for students that are free from sexual harassment. Under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, sexual harassment is considered a form of sex discrimination and prohibited on all academic, residential, and other School of Nursing-related settings and activities, whether on or off campus.
Examples of sexual harassment include, but are not limited to, advances or requests for sexual favors or other conduct of a sexual nature that creates a hostile and intimidating environment that interferes with a student's performance in academic or non-academic settings. Sexual harassment may involve behavior of a person of either sex against a person of the opposite or same sex.
The following are examples that may constitute sexual harassment between students:
Students should consult the University's Title IX Policy for information on reporting and resolving allegations of sexual assault and harassment: https://www.kysu.edu/student-engagement-and-campus-life/title-ix/
You have chosen to pursue your course of study an asynchronous online learning environment. It is customary for students to complete their program within this mode of delivery. Transferring from one mode of delivery to another (e.g., online to on-campus or on-campus to online) is not possible, as it may extend the duration of the program curriculum as well as impact the availability of clinical sites and federal financial aid eligibility.
A request to transfer between modes of delivery must be discussed with your academic advisor, and may only be granted in special circumstances. More than one transfer between modes of delivery during the duration of your time in the program must be approved by the Director for Graduate Nursing Programs and the Chair of the School of Nursing.
The platform (BLACKBOARD) on which the program is delivered incorporates the best of available web technologies. The platform uses tools to stimulate classroom discussion, and anyone familiar with facebook.com or other online communities should feel comfortable with the tools. Students will not need to be proficient with distance education technology before enrolling, but basic computer literacy, such as knowing how to access a web site, is required. Students log onto the learning management platform using a secure Kentucky State University login and password. Synchronous sessions in the online graduate nursing program are determined by each course coordinator. An orientation session for the overall program is provided prior to students
