B.S.N. Grade Requirements

• A minimum grade of "C" is required in:
  • Life Sciences 108, 109, 206, and 312
  • Chemistry 110 and 220
  • Integrative Studies 100, 105 or 110, and 130
• If a grade less than "C" is earned, these courses must be repeated in order to meet prerequisite and degree requirements.
• A minimum grade of "C" is required in all nursing courses. To proceed in the sequence of nursing courses, all prerequisite nursing courses must be completed with a "C" or better.
• Whenever a B.S.N. student interrupts enrollment in the three-year sequence of nursing courses (regardless of reason), the student must apply for re-enrollment into nursing courses at least on quarter prior to re-entry (for fall re-entry, application must be submitted by April 1). Late submission of materials may negatively effect the student's re-enrollment. Re-enrollment is not guaranteed and is determined by the Professional Review Committee on an individual basis. the full policy and procedure for re-enrollment is located in the Department of Nursing Undergraduate Student Handbook.
• A student receiving two grades of "C-" (C minus) or lower in the original attempt in all nursing courses; Life Science 108, 109, 206, 312; Chemistry 110 and 220 (CHEM 220 double counts with INST 340); or any combination of these courses will no longer be able to continue in the B.S.N. Program. A student may attempt only one nursing course twice in the B.S.N. Program. An attempt is defined as being enrolled in a course beyond the 25th class day. Receiving a grade of "C -" (C minus) or lower or a "W" (Withdrawal) in the original attempt of any nursing course will constitute an attempt.
• A cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 is required to receive the B.S.N. degree.
