<ol style="max-width:67em !important;">
<ol style="max-width:67em !important;">Courses that have not been preapproved shall be considered as follows:
     <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Students applying for transfer courses must use the following procedure in order to assure acceptance of the course within the professional graduate nursing program of study.
     <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Applicant initiates the request for course transfer review by completing and submitting the Request for Transfer of Professional Graduate Course form. Applicant submits form to Student Services</li>
        <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha; margin-bottom:15px;">
    <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">A separate form shall be completed and submitted for each course if the applicant wishes to transfer more than one course.</li>
            <li style="margin-bottom:15px; margin-top:15px;">Students will consult with their advisors or specialty coordinator/program director about requesting a transfer of a course.</li>
    <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">All requested transfer courses should be submitted for review at least three months prior to matriculation.</li>
            <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">If the advisor or specialty coordinator/program director supports the transfer request, the student submits to their advisor a written request for approval for the course. The request includes the name and number of course, description and the syllabus for the course they want to transfer along with the grade and transcript if the course has been taken. The name and number of the similar existing College of Nursing course that is the subject of the transfer course is identified. </li>
    <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Student Services distributes the form to the appropriate faculty member to determine the curriculum similarity to the CON course.</li>
            <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The advisor or specialty coordinator/program director sends a request for review to the PGNA Committee chair who sends it to the College of Nursing course coordinator for the existing course to determine if the transfer course is similar. Faculty review the requested transfer course and determine if the courses are at least 80% similar for course description, objectives and content. The course coordinator sends the PGNA Committee chair a statement regarding similarity of the transfer course. </li>
    <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The reviewer shall document on the request form whether the course does or does not meet requirements, sign the document and return it to Student Services.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The advisor will send a recommendation to the chair of the Professional Graduate Nursing Affairs Committee (PGNA) with supporting documentation and a brief note on the comparability of the course work. If transfer is recommended, the PGNAC members will review and vote via consent agenda. Following PGNA approval, the advisor, Student Service office and <strong>the student</strong> are notified.</li>
    <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Student Services submits the form to PGNA for approval.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Student Services office will add the approved course to the CON list of approved transfer courses with the date of approval. </li>
    <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Student Services documents the voting results and notifies the specialty coordinator or program director. All documentation shall be maintained in Student Services and available for future review.</li>
        </ol>
    <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Specialty coordinator or program director updates the plan of study and notifies
