Academic credit for nursing courses will be valid for a five year period. Although an adviser works closely with each student to plan the program, it is the student's responsibility to meet course prerequisites as required. The student is expected to follow the program as planned with the assigned academic adviser. According to University policy, in order to graduate, a student must complete an Exit Exam. Students receiving a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing must pass the Exit Exam at a level designated by the faculty.
Students receive notification through college calendars of registration dates.
Students are required to assume the cost of testing and any required remediation. Students who do not achieve a passing score on the senior exit exam will be required to remediate in areas which are identified as deficient. The need to complete remediation programs may cause a delay in graduation. Following remediation, the student will be retested. Students who do not pass on the second attempt will have an individualized plan of study developed by appropriate faculty that may include repeat of academic courses.
