"C" Grade Requirement

“C” GRADE REQUIREMENT

Effective June 1, 1998, any nursing student entering the university must obtain a grade of  “C” or above in all university and required nursing support courses. A course may be repeated only once to raise an unsatisfactory grade. If the student does not satisfactorily complete the course the second time, the student should meet with his/her assigned academic advisor to review options. In order to repeat a course for the third time, a petition letter must be submitted to the Dean of the College of Nursing.
