The Nursing program reserves the right to dismiss a nursing student from the program who does not demonstrate professional conduct. This includes, but is not limited to, behavior that threatens the safety of a client, another student, a faculty member, or other health care provider in a clinical setting, which is part of the student's academic program. The student has the right to appeal. 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.
Absence A leave of absence from the Nursing program of up to two semesters may be requested in writing 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.
