Students who are unsuccessful in repeating any nursing core course are ineligible to continue in the nursing program. Students who are unsuccessful in more than one nursing core course and have already repeated one core course will not be eligible to repeat a second nursing core course. Withdrawal from a core nursing course after the first 30 calendar days will be considered a failure of the course for reapplication purposes. In case of illness or other extreme circumstances, the faculty may consider a one-time exception. A student wishing to be considered for a waiver to the two-course limit should obtain letters of support from two faculty members, at least one of which must be from a nursing faculty member and submit them to the nursing program committee for consideration.
