CHANGES OF SCHEDULE (ADD/DROP)
Limitations on section size and available instructional resources make it impossible for each student to arrange a schedule which will meet his/her personal convenience in each instance. Changes of schedule are made through the office of the School of Nursing Director of Registration and Enrollment. There is a fee charged each time a student-initiated schedule change is made.

SEAT AVAILABILITY IN NURSING COURSES
Enrollment for all nursing courses is determined by the date of admittance, satisfactory completion of required academic courses in the curriculum and seat availability.

In the event that a student meets the prerequisites but does not gain a seat in the course, he/she will be placed on a waiting list.

AUDITING A COURSE
A student may audit nursing courses, pending approval of the Associate Dean, School of Nursing. A fee will be charged. A student may not audit a course before having taken the course.

ATTENDANCE POLICY
All students are expected to attend all class meetings including lectures, classroom laboratory and clinical laboratory. Attendance is deemed vital in meeting course objectives.

ACADEMIC PROGRESSION POLICIES

•	Academic progress is evaluated at the end of each semester using the Quality Point Scale, found in the Student Handbook, and other published criteria for progression.
•	All prerequisite and corequisite course requirements must be met.
•	All courses within each curriculum level must be completed in order to progress to the next level. To be eligible for enrollment in NURM 121 (Nursing I), students must satisfactorily complete, with a grade of “D” or higher, the following courses in Semester I: English 101 and Psychology 101 ; and satisfactorily complete, with a “C” or higher Biology 105 , Chemistry 105 or 113 and NURM 100. Students must also show a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or higher. Students must, once they have enrolled in a required nursing designated course, maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 in order to progress in the nursing courses. Exception: A student, seeking to repeat a required nursing designated course in which a grade of “F”, “D”, or “D+” was earned, who because of that failing grade is unable to meet the GPA of 2.0, will be permitted to repeat the nursing course. After the course repeat is completed, the student’s GPA must be a 2.0 or higher.
