Students are graduated when all course work is satisfactorily completed and financial obligations met. A cumulative GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation. All graduation requirements must be met before the student will be certified eligible to sit for the Registered Nurse (RN) Licensing Examination (NCLEX-RN). A comprehensive Assessment Test will be administered via computer in Nursing 222 and Nursing 242. This mandatory test provides a review of and retention of course content. This Assessment Test indicates areas of knowledge, strengths and areas for growth. If a student receives below the determined score set by The School on the Assess Test, he/she will be required to practice additional review questions. The printed results of these questions are a course requirement and must be submitted to the Associate Dean before the student is endorsed to sit for State Board NCLEX. Final course grades will not be released until all course requirements are met.

Prior to being endorsed for the NCLEX-RN, it is mandatory for each graduate to enroll in and sit for the State Board Examination Review Course which has been approved by The School.

Convocation will be held by JFK Muhlenberg Snyder School of Nursing twice a year. All graduating students are expected to attend.

All graduating JFK Muhlenberg Snyder School of Nursing students are eligible to participate in the UNION County College graduation ceremonies.
