“I now have a job at a small family practice clinic. I could not be happier with the education I received.” -Jacklynn, LPN Graduate
Dismissal & Reinstatement A student that has been dismissed due to not making Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) will not be allowed to return for at least one year. Before a student will be reinstated, the student must demonstrate his/her desire and ability to satisfactorily complete the program. Upon return, the student will be on probation for that term and must meet all satisfactory academic progress requirements to officially be reinstated. Extended Enrollment A student who is no longer in Satisfactory Academic Progress but wishes to continue his/her studies may be placed on a written and signed extended enrollment status. While on extended enrollment status the student will continue to study at their own expense, and will not be eligible for Title IV funds or any other agency funding. The student will remain responsible for payment of tuition and other costs. While in this extended enrollment status, the student must attempt to correct their academic deficiencies by taking remedial courses, re-taking failed classes, or practicing previously learned skills to reestablish satisfactory academic progress. A student may not continue studies in an extended enrollment status for a period beyond the published maximum time frame and receive the original credential for which he or she enrolled. While on extended enrollment status, the student will be evaluated by the administration to determine the student’s ability and desire to satisfactorily complete the program. Once a student has improved his/her CGPA, or successful completion percentage as outlined in the catalog under “Minimum Academic Requirements”, he or she may be reinstated as a regular student and re-establish his/her eligibility for Title IV funds or any other agency funding. Once the student has been reinstated as a regular student, he/she will be placed on Academic Probation for the next academic term. Successful completion of the term while on Academic Probation will result in the student being placed back in good standing with the college.
Graduation Requirements Students must earn a minimum of a ‘C-’ grade in all NUR Nursing core classes to pass the course, and be eligible to progress in the program. If a student earns a failing grade (lower than a C-) in any NUR class, the student is required to retake the course and is not allowed to progress in the program until a passing grade is earned in the course. Students are allowed to repeat each course one time. Additionally, students are required to pass all other courses in the program with a passing grade (60% or higher).

These circumstances must be documented and it must be demonstrated by the student that the circumstances have had an adverse impact on the student’s satisfactory progress in the academic program. The student will not receive credit while on a leave of absence. No waivers will be granted for graduation requirements. The maximum time frame allowed for a student to request a leave of absence is 180 calendar days in a 12-month period.
