Although attempts will be made to place the student clinically, it must be understood that the student may have to sit out a semester or more until space becomes available. The student has the right to appeal. The process for implementation of this Professional Conduct Policy is documented in the Student Handbook . A former student must apply in writing for readmission to the associate dean for undergraduate programs by September 1 for the spring semester, by February 1 for the fall semester, or by November 1 for the Summer Term. Students meeting the above criteria are considered for admission on a space-available basis.
Students have the right to appeal unfavorable decisions.
Top Leave of Absence A leave of absence from the nursing program of up to two semesters may be requested, in writing, to the associate dean for undergraduate programs, by a student in good standing. Readmission following the leave of absence is granted only on a space-available basis. Although the faculty of the nursing program are generally the best judges of a student's professional performance, in some instances a student may feel that their judgment of readmission or dismissal is unfair. In such cases, the student should ask the associate dean for undergraduate programs to reconsider the decision. If the student remains dissatisfied, the matter may be appealed to the dean.
