All members of the School of Nursing have the right to appeal certain decisions. The School of Nursing makes a distinction between acts involving academic matters and other conduct, which may be subject to disciplinary actions. This guarantee is effected through the appeals processes of the School of Nursing.

Student concerns are addressed through student representation on faculty, curriculum and student services committees. An academic and non-academic appeals process is detailed in the student handbook. All other issues are addressed to the Dean, on an individual basis. The documentation is maintained in the office of the Dean.

Infractions of rules and regulations made known by the School of Nursing authorities, Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center, the State of New Jersey, the County of Union, the City of Plainfield or the Federal Government may lead to disciplinary action.

The School and all the students are held responsible for knowing the contents of the Student Handbook and School Catalog. Failure to read these publications or posted official notices of the School does not excuse members of the School community from the rules and regulations in effect.

The Student Handbook is distributed at the opening of each academic year. It is also available in the administrative offices of the School. Enrolled students may secure access to a copy of the current catalog at the Admissions Office. Official notices are posted on the School of Nursing bulletin board.

Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center School of Nursing and Union County College while jointly conducting the Cooperative Nursing Program, remain autonomous institutions and establish their own policies and procedures. The major areas of difference in policy, in which the Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center School of Nursing policy does not take precedence include: recording and clearing of incomplete grades in non-nursing courses, repeating non-nursing courses, challenge examinations in non-nursing courses and conduct on the Union County College campus which is subject to disciplinary action and the associated Union County College judicial process.

Therefore, all students, being dually enrolled in the two institutions, must not only be knowledgeable of their rights and responsibilities at Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center School of Nursing, but also at Union County College. Every Student is therefore advised to become familiar with the Union County College Student Handbook, the Union County College Catalog and other college publications.
