===1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Purpose:===
<p style="margin-bottom:15px; max-width:70em !important;">The purposes of the Nursing Research Committee are to (a) promote interest and involvement of faculty to achieve the research goals of the College of Nursing and (b) support the development and sustainability of a dynamic culture of research and scholarship throughout the College of Nursing.</p>

If the educational progression of a student in good standing is interrupted at the College of Nursing for any reason other than active military duty, for longer than two academic terms, the student must reapply to the College of Nursing. The student may be reinstated as space permits on each individual campus. In the event a nursing course needed by the student is not available during the two academic terms, a student need '''not''' reapply before taking the course the next time it is offered. The student will be allowed in the nursing course as space permits.</li>
<li>Consult with the Associate Dean for Research regarding the College of Nursing infrastructure to support research and scholarship productivity.
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">'''Academic Probation:'''
<ol>
<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">

Appropriate documentation submitted must be original documents. Copies will be made and the originals returned to the student.
<li> and Institutional Animal Care Use Committee (IACUC) applications.</li>

            <li>Receives a grade of less than '''78%''' in the same nursing course twice or receives a grade of less than '''78%''' in two or more different required nursing courses in the nursing major. This includes all courses in the nursing major in which the student was unsuccessful the first time and repeated and received a passing grade.</li>
<li>Students who have been dismissed from the college for violations of Policy 5.2.36 Undergraduate Professional Performance are not eligible for readmission to any undergraduate UNMC College of Nursing program.</li>
