A student who does not complete a nursing course for a period of three consecutive semesters will be considered to have withdrawn from the program.
Students in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Collaborative) Program are normally permitted to request a leave of absence from the program only once. The request must include written permission from the Dean or delegate. A leave will be granted for a maximum period of three consecutive semesters. A student on leave who plans to resume studies must notify the Dean/Director or designate in writing one semester prior to registration. A student who does not return at the end of their approved leave of absence will be deemed to have withdrawn from the program.
A student in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Collaborative) Program who voluntarily withdraws from the program prior to the conclusion of the first semester of the first year and who would like to return to the program must re-apply in competition as a new applicant.
A student in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Collaborative) Program who voluntarily withdraws from the program, at the conclusion of the first semester of the program, or later, and who would like to return to the program, must appeal for readmission as outlined under Readmission Regulations for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Collaborative) Program.
A student in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Collaborative) Program who is readmitted following a period of absence, either as a result of a leave of absence or a withdrawal from the program, upon the recommendation of the Committee on Undergraduate Studies may be required to undertake remedial work, which can include repeating clinical, laboratory, or classroom courses, or repeating one or more terms of the program. A student will be advised of the remedial program at the time of readmission. All remedial work must be successfully completed before a student will be permitted to proceed in the program.
