'''Criteria for Math Competencies'''
        <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">
            <li style="margin-bottom:15px; margin-top:15px;">All instructors in clinical courses in the semester will be given a copy of the signed agreement for their information.</li>
            <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The student will be allowed to set up or pass medications for learning purposes only with direct supervision of the instructor.</li>
            <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The student will take responsibility for appropriate remediation on medication dosages and calculations.</li>
            <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The student must pass the semester math competency exam before the end of the term (or sooner if the time frame is specifically addressed in the course syllabus) in order to progress to the next level or to NRSG 419 Transition to Professional Nursing course.</li>
        </ol>
</li>
</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The Director of the Undergraduate Program will be notified of any student failing to meet the math competency requirements in any semester or before the NRSG 419 Transition to Professional Nursing course.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Each test will be administered within the first two weeks of the semester. The number of questions on the math competency exam will be agreed upon in the cross campus meetings for the PCCC course. Questions will cover the content taught in previous courses/semester (For example: At the beginning of semester 2, the math exam will cover content tested and learned in semester 1.) Students cannot miss more than one question on the exam. </li>
 
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Students do not pass the required math competency exam if they miss more than one question. Students are able to take the test up to a total of three times during the semester. Students are required to complete remediation between exams under the guidance of a faculty member. Students will be allowed to repeat the exam when both student and faculty member are prepared to do so. Students will not pass medications in the clinical area until they have passed the exam. Students will also receive an unsatisfactory related to medications on the clinical evaluation tool until the student passes the exam.  If the student fails to pass the math competency exam after three attempts, this will result in failure of the clinical course. </li>
 
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The Director of the Undergraduate Program and Division Assistant Dean will be notified of any student not meeting the math competency requirements in any semester.</li>
