Policies & Procedures:
Grading System & Policy
Students must have a passing grade of 80% in each course and abide by
the honor code to remain and progress in the Practical Nursing program.
If a student has less than 80% in any PN course, he/she is dropped from the
class at the end of the semester and cannot progress to the next level until a
grade of 80% is documented for all previous PN courses. |

Dropped students may apply for re-admission by contacting the counselor and
completing the appropriate paperwork. The number of re-admissions is specified
in the current Readmission Policy stated in this handbook. Such returning
students are admitted on an individual basis pending space available in the
class and clinical sites.
Students will be advised of their progress throughout the program on a periodic
basis. Students having difficulty in a course are encouraged to seek help in the
Learning Resources Center and from instructors, tutors and Special Populations
staff. Good study habits, priority setting, and time management are essential to
complete this program and reach your goal.
There will be no rounding up of grades. |

Students must maintain 80% (a "C" grade) to progress through the blocks of study
in the PN Program.
If a student has less than 80% in one or more PN courses, the
student cannot progress into the next block. This current policy does not
prohibit students from finishing other courses for which they have registered
and paid for that semester. However, those students, who elect to continue to
the end of the semester and have a less than 80% in one or more PNV courses,
will not be permitted to continue rotations in the clinical area during this
semester. Said student should understand that they cannot progress to the next
semester until 80% is documented for all previous PN courses.
Classroom Conduct
Students are expected to conduct themselves in a non-disruptive manner while
in class. The instructors are here to assist students with their educational
goals. Good classroom manners and class participation are essential for an
effective learning atmosphere. Students are expected to prepare for class by
reading the material to be covered and completing assignments on time and
according to instructions. CELL PHONES AND PAGERS MUST BE TURNED OFF DURING
LECTURES. |
