===Policy===

<ol style="max-width:67em !important;">

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Students are expected to perform at a B (83.0%) or above for all courses. A grade of B- or lower will not be acceptable and the student must repeat the same course at the earliest offering. The course(s) may be retaken one time and the student must achieve a grade of B or higher, or the student will be dismissed.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">If a B- or below grade is received, the student will remediate by repeating the course at its earliest offering. The course may be retaken one time and the student must achieve a grade of B or higher. Students may be given the opportunity to repeat no more than two courses during their professional graduate program.</li>

-->

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">A maximum of two separate courses can be retaken. The timeline clock/time of completion does not get adjusted/altered to allow time for completion of the necessary retaken courses.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">A student whose overall GPA is below 3.0 will be placed on academic probation and have two semesters to meet the 3.0 GPA criteria. At the time that a B- or below is received, a student is not in good academic standing until the student remediates by retaking the course and achieving a grade of B (83.0%) or higher.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The MSN, Post MSN DNP, and Post Graduate Certificate programs must be completed within 5 consecutive calendar years. BSN to DNP program must be completed within 7 consecutive calendar years.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">All students must apply for candidacy one semester before filing for graduation.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The following criteria for candidacy have been established by the Professional Graduate Nursing Affairs Committee:

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">No less than 50% of the course work must be completed at the University of Nebraska campuses after being formally admitted to UNMC College of Nursing.  Appropriate courses may be taken within other departments of the University of Nebraska under guidance of the specialty coordinator or advisor. Graduate certificate course work requires a minimum of 12 credits with the option of one third of the coursework in collateral departments of relevant disciplines. </li>

===Procedure===

<ol style="max-width:67em !important;">

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">If the above situation occurs or a grade of C is received in a course, the faculty advisor in conjunction with the specialty coordinator and specialty faculty will make recommendations to the Professional Graduate Nursing Affairs Committee on the progression of the student, with rationale, to 1) continue in the program; 2) repeat the course when next offered; or, 3) dismiss the student.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">If the student has an overall GPA below 3.0 a plan for self or directed remediation must be included and a letter from the Associate Dean of Academic Programs will be sent to the student.</li>
