CCNE Continuous Improvement Progress Report (2018 Standards ), Standard I
progress in the program. Nursing core courses include all academic courses with a NUR prefix. If a student earns a grade lower than a ‘C-’ in a NUR course, the student is required to retake the course in the next term in which it is scheduled. If a student is unable to earn a minimum of a ‘C-’ the second attempt, the student will be withdrawn from the program permanently, and will not be permitted to reapply for that program. NCLEX Preparation Courses: Students must earn a minimum of a ‘C-’ in all NCLEX Preparation courses to be eligible to progress in the program. These courses include those with a prefix of NCL. Non-Core Courses: In the event a student fails (F) a non-core course, the student will not be allowed to progress to the following term until the student passes the course they failed. ‘Non-core’ courses are defined as any course that does not have a NUR or NCL course prefix. The student is allowed to retake any ‘non-core’ course one time in an attempt to pass. If the outcome of the second attempt results in another failing grade (F), the student will be withdrawn from the program.
This change was made in October 2022 to have a consistent grading scale for all programs at the college. The change was announced in an updated student handbook and through the Canvas LMS.
