Readmission Information

A student who receives an unsatisfactory (a grade less than C+) final grade or a withdrawal (“W”) in a single nursing course, and has no additional final unsatisfactory (a grade less than C+) grades or withdrawals (“W”) amongst their nursing courses, may repeat that same course in the subsequent semester, based on space availability.  Students who fail or withdraw from a nursing course are considered “out of sequence.”  

A student who receives an unsatisfactory final grade (a grade less than C+) and/or a withdrawal (“W”) twice in the same nursing course or in two different nursing courses is deemed “program ineligible” and will not be permitted to continue in the indicated Healthcare Pathway program. 

Please note:  If you have already applied for, and been readmitted to the nursing program in the past, any further unsatisfactory grades (a grade less than C+)” or withdrawal (“W”) in your nursing courses renders the student as program ineligible.  

Students who are deemed ineligible for the program will not have the ability to register for nursing courses.  The student must withdraw from any program courses they are registered for but are no longer eligible to take.  Please go into Self Service and withdraw from those courses.  

Program ineligibility may affect a student’s financial aid. Please contact the financial aid office for further information. Program ineligible students will not be eligible to receive a Letter of Good Standing from the Healthcare Pathway.

If the student wishes, they may apply for readmission to the program one time.  Program ineligible students will “sit out” a semester as they go through the process of readmission.  In other words, students are out of the program during the semester in which they are appealing.  You should refer to the Healthcare Pathway Student Handbook.  

Note: A student who is dismissed from a Healthcare Pathway program due to violation of safety and/or professional standards is not eligible to apply for readmission. 

Students accepted for readmission are expected to enroll in the next available semester.  

Failure to do so will result in termination of readmission acceptance and the student will need to reapply for readmission.  

The first step in the readmission process is to speak with a healthcare pathway advisor and/or academic life coach who will provide assistance and guidance in completing the necessary forms and answer any questions you may have.

For readmission:

Students are notified of the committee decisions by March 31st for the Fall semester start and by October 31st for the Spring semester readmission.  Students are notified by letter or email of the decision.  

Please do not include personal medical information, medical records or letters of support in your application for readmission. 

Also important:  

• Students on leave from the nursing program (i.e., PN, RN, and LPN RN progression) but are in good academic standing have one (1) year from the last date of attendance in a technical course to return to the program to complete technical courses.

• Students on program leave for more than one (1) year from the last date of attendance in a technical course will be required to repeat all core technical nursing courses related to currency in the clinical field of nursing. 

• For RN students who are selected to be admitted to the LPN program: 

Students are notified of the committee decisions by March 20th, or October 20th, to allow the student to submit an LPN petition application by the March 31st, or October 31st, petition deadline for the LPN program.  If the student does not submit a petition application by the deadline they must wait until the following petition window.
