GRADING POLICY
Students must complete all concurrent nursing courses with a C or better in order to progress to the next level. If a student earns a D or F in all concurrent nursing courses the grades earned will be recorded. If a student earns a D or F in one or two of the nursing courses, the grades for all three courses will be recorded as IP. The IP will remain on the transcript but will not jeopardize the GPA.

CURRENT nursing program polices.
