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. |
