PROGRESSION:
Students must maintain an overall GPA of 2.0 in order to progress and graduate with a BSN degree. If a student receives a D or F in a course the student will not be allowed to continue in the Accelerated Program. The student may be allowed to convert to the Generic Baccalaureate Nursing Progra as space is available; however this may prolong the course of study. If, after converting to the Generic BSN Program, the student receives another D or F in any course the student will be dismissed from the program.

WITHDRAWAL:
Course withdrawals are not allowed in the Accelerated Baccalaureate Program. If a student withdraws from a course the student will not be allowed to continue in the Accelerated Program but may be allowed to convert to the Generic BSN program. Once the student converts to the Generic BSN program only one additional course withdrawal is allowed.
