titleSequential Progression Requirements for the BSN Program

The student may continue to progress in the nursing program, according to the curriculum plan, only if the student:

  • Completes all prerequisite courses required in NUR courses, and BIO 3159
  • Earns a grade of C or above in all NUR courses and BIO 3159
  • Maintains a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.75
  • Maintains a cumulative grade point average of 2.75 within the major
  • Demonstrates satisfactory performance of all designated nursing skills
  • Earns a satisfactory grade in both the theory and clinical components of the nursing courses. In the event that the earned clinical grade is unsatisfactory, the course grade assigned will not be higher than the letter grade of “D”
  • Passes the medication calculation Competency Based Assessment CBA at 90% accuracy (Terms 2 & 3, and Term 4 Return Simulation)
  • Demonstrates full compliance with all standards of the nursing profession as defined by AACN’s Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice, the ANA standards of practice, the ANA Code for Nurses, and Minnesota Nursing Practice Act
  • Maintains health clearance requirements, Criminal Background clearance requirements; and current CPR certification.
    • Stays within the Course Repetition Policies (See 5.3.a Course Repetition Policies)

    Retention in the Nursing Program is based on the following:

    1. Maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.75.
    2. Maintain a GPA of at least 2.75 in the major.
    3. Meet all minimum grade requirements as defined in the university catalog and the School of Nursing Handbook.
    4. Abide by established university and school policies on academic integrity and upholding community and professional standards.
    5. Maintain all student health clearance/immunization requirements, CPR requirement and criminal background screening, with supporting documentation demonstrating current records.

    If the appropriate GPAs are not maintained, consideration may be given by the School of Nursing to place the student on probation, dismiss the students from the nursing program, or to counsel the student into another program area. 

    A nursing course (NUR prefix) may only be repeated one time.  This includes whether the student failed or withdrew from the course ("W" notation on transcript).  Upon failing or withdrawing from a nursing course during the second attempt, the student will immediately be dismissed from the School of Nursing.  Dismissed students are required to meet with the Chief Nurse Administrator for a scheduled exit interview.

    Only three (3) nursing courses (NUR prefix) may be repeated.  The student who fails or withdraws from a fourth nursing course, having already repeated three (3) nursing courses, will immediately be dismissed from the School of Nursing.  Dismissed students are required to meet with the Chief Nurse Administrator for a scheduled exit interview.

    A student who has failed one or more nursing course(s) (NUR) in a term, must write a letter to the Admission and Progression Committee of the School of Nursing, notifying of 1) their intent to continue in the nursing program; 2) their preferred term to repeat the nursing course(s). The Admission and Progression Committee of the School of Nursing will make final decisions on placement of students who need to repeat nursing course(s).

    All nursing courses (NUR prefix) having a clinical component must be repeated successfully prior to taking other nursing courses.  A student must have completed all NUR courses from terms 1-3 in order to enroll in NUR 4316, 4317, 4318, or 4319.

    The Admission and Progression Committee of the School of Nursing will make final decisions in dismissal cases. All dismissal cases may be appealed. 

    All program requirements must be completed within five (5) years of first enrollment of NUR courses. A student not progressing in the program in a continuous manner may be required to complete additional courses based on curriculum changes.
