Grades of C+ or above are passing grades in the College of Nursing. Students must maintain a cumulative College of Nursing average of 2.33 GPA in order to remain in good standing.
</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">For clinical courses, the following criteria apply:
The faculty will assign the student’s grade by evaluating the student’s performance according
to the critical clinical behaviors for each course.<br /><br />A student who faculty deems is unprepared or unsafe will be required to leave the clinical setting and enter into a remediation plan until they are deemed prepared to return to the clinical setting.<br /><br />The student may be removed for a short duration or the rest of the semester. A student not able to return and to complete the critical clinical behaviors before the end of the semester will receive a Fail for the clinical course.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The grade of "Incomplete" is awarded according to guidelines set forth in Policy 2228.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">For courses in which theory and clinical are combined, clinical laboratory performance is rated on a Pass/Fail basis. A rating of Fail in clinical laboratory performance results in a D in the course unless the theory grade is an F. If the clinical laboratory performance is Pass the grade awarded for the course will be based upon the theory grade.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">For courses with only a clinical component, clinical laboratory performance is rated on a Pass/Fail basis. A rating of Pass in clinical performance results in a P in the course. A rating of Fail in clinical laboratory performance results in an F in the course.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Withdrew or Incomplete grades are indicated as follows:<br /><br />
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="30px">W -</td>
<td width="20px">&nbsp;</td>
<td>Students who drop a course after the first seven calendar days of the term will receive a grade of W on their transcript. Students may not drop a course after 70% of the course has been completed. A grade other than W must be assigned.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="30px">I -</td>
<td width="20px">&nbsp;</td>
<td>Incomplete. (Grade average is not affected until the incomplete has been removed. Students have one semester to remove the Incomplete grade or the I reverts to an F. Refer to current Student Policy Manual for additional guidelines regarding incomplete grades.)</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
Grades of W and P are not assigned grade points and therefore are not used in computation of a student's cumulative GPA.
