Students are required to simultaneously enroll in and complete the theory and experiential courses. If a student withdraws from a nursing course with a co-requisite course, they will be administratively withdrawn from the corresponding course. Administrative withdrawals do not apply to dismissal guidelines.
Passing both components is mandatory to successfully progress within the program. Failure or withdraw in either the theory or experiential component necessitates retaking and passing the failed component in the next term. Progression to subsequent courses is contingent upon successful completion of both components. A temporary grade of “H” (hold) will be assigned to the passed component, indicating that advancement in the program is paused until the student successfully completes both components.
Students who fail the experiential course but pass the theory course will complete a review of course concepts while repeating the clinical component before progressing to the next term.
Students repeating the theory component, having passed the clinical component, must complete a skills review corresponding to the experiential demands of the repeated course.
An academic hold will be placed on the student's record, preventing progression to the next term, until both components are successfully completed with any required activities and assignments to uphold proficiency in nursing skills and clinical decision-making.
