Re-Entry to Mount Carmel College of Nursing

Students previously enrolled in Mount Carmel College of Nursing may apply for readmission to their program of choice. The Petition for Readmission form is available from the Office of Academic Advising. 

• For information specific to re-entry for Service or Military students, visit the Military/Service Member Readmission policy

For any student to start the re-enrollment process, they must contact an Academic Advisor and request the application prior to the start of the semester they wish to return. Students applying for reinstatement must work with their Academic Advisor to complete the Petition for Readmission form. All returning students and service members must pay any outstanding account balance in full before being permitted to return to the College. 

Application Review

Once a student has successfully completed the application for readmissions, the student’s Academic Advisor will review the application to determine the student's academic status, if the student has any past or pending disciplinary actions, Satisfactory Academic Progress, and time out of school, to appropriately advise the student.

• Students’ re-entry application will be declined during the review if the student has previous or pending disciplinary action, academic integrity/behavioral concerns or documented behavioral concerns unless approved by the Director of Compliance and Safety and Dean of Nursing and Allied Health.  No appeal will be permitted.

• Academically dismissed students are eligible to apply for reinstatement after one full semester of non-enrollment.

• Students reviewed that have met academic standards for their program can move forward with their application.

  • If the student has been out of school 181-365 days on their planned date of return, the Academic Advisor will:

    • Build an academic plan.

    • Schedule the student.

    • Have Records and Registration reinstate the student if appropriate.

  • If the student has met academic standards and will be over 365 days on their planned date of return, the Academic Advisor will refer the student to admissions to complete a full admissions process.

• An academically dismissed student must meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) through their program including Pace of Completion (POC), Maximum Time Frame (MTF), and minimum grade standards.  Please refer to SAP policies. Students not meeting these standards may not be financial aid eligible.

• An academically dismissed student will need to complete an appeal as part of their readmission’s application. The appeal will contain the following information and be reviewed by Faculty Program Leader, Registrar, and another designee from the academic standards committee:

  • How a Mount Carmel education fulfills your goals for a career and your life.

  • The specific factor(s) that led to your dismissal; and

  • The concrete, specific changes you have made to assure your future academic success.

• An academically dismissed undergraduate student review will be completed with the following rubric and must score above 6 points to be considered for readmissions.

• An academically dismissed graduate student review will be completed with the following rubric and must score above 7 points to be considered for readmissions.

Conditions of Being Readmitted    

Upon an offer of re-entry, the student must meet with their Academic Advisor to discuss the requirements needed to return. The student’s classification level and course placement will be determined by the Academic Advisor who will notify the specific course coordinator if Skills Remediation/Competency Evaluation is required. The student is responsible for contacting the course coordinator to complete all competency requirements successfully, if applicable.

Upon re-entry, the student will be placed on academic probation for two consecutive terms returning to their program. Students will also be required to attend the Student Success Center and set appropriate goals for success. The success center will determine any specific condition of their readmissions. Failure to follow the specific conditions of re-entry, non-passing grades in any class within the first two semesters from return, or failure to meet academic standards within two semesters may result in the readmissions being rescinded and automatic dismissal from the College.

*Following re-entry to the College, enrollment in specific classes shall be on a space available basis. A reinstated student must follow the curriculum requirements and policies in effect at the time of reinstatement.
