CHANGES OF SCHEDULE (ADD/DROP)
Limitations on section size and available instructional
resources may make it impossible for each student to arrange
a schedule that will meet his/her personal convenience in each
instance. Changes of schedules are made through the office of
the Director of Registration and Enrollment or through UNION
County College’s online web services. There is a charge for
student-initiated changes made after the semester has begun.
SEAT AVAILABILITY IN NURSING
COURSES
Seat availability for a nursing course is determined based on
the student’s completion of required academic courses in the
curriculum. 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. The criteria used for wait list placement is
date of admittance. A cumulative Grade Point Average of 2.0 or
higher must be maintained to be eligible for the waiting list
and/or nursing courses. See “Exceptions” below for clarification.
Exceptions:
- Students repeating nursing courses will be put on a waiting
list and are not given first preference in seat availability.
- Students who are unable to gain a seat in a nursing course
must take the responsibility of contacting the Registrar in
a timely manner regarding seat availability and registration
for the next semester.
- Registration for courses being taken for the first time,
i.e., NURM 100 and NURM 119, is on a first-come first-served
basis. Seats will first be given to those who attend open
registration (eligibility is required).
- The School reserves the right to limit seats in any nursing
course based on faculty and/or facility availability.
AUDITING A COURSE
A student may audit the theory portion of a nursing course and/or
the Clinical Lab, pending written approval of an Associate Dean
and completion of the Audit Request form. A student cannot audit
a course before having taken the course. Refer to the current
fee schedule for auditing a course.
Courses may be audited only after the first withdrawal at
mid-term. Exception: Students who are entering NURM 120 or NURM
141 may audit NURM 119 once on a seat-available basis. While
auditing, students may only attend lectures and may not sit for
exams, exam reviews, or attend course laboratory experiences,
including clinical.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance at all classroom and laboratory sections (both
clinical and classroom) of each course is vital for the student
to meet the objectives of the course. Attendance will be taken
at all classes.
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. |
