Program
Program
To pass each nursing course, you must complete both the theory and immersive learning (CL) components. Failing the immersive component means failing the entire course - even if your grade is passing.
To pass the theory portion, you must earn:
At least 75% overall and
An average of 80% on tests
If you pass theory but fail immersive learning, you will still fail the course. Details on the grading scale used by the School of Nursing and the Repeated Course Policy can be found in the Catalog.
In your capstone course, you must show readiness for the NCLEX by passing a series of standardized tests.
Exam Policies/Progression Criteria
Exam Policies/Progression Criteria
To pass a course, you must earn an 80% average or higher on all unit quizzes, midterm, and final exams. Only after reaching this benchmark will your remaining course points be factored into your final grade.
ASN students will be tested on immersive learning skills throughout the program. You must pass each assigned skill and will have three attempts per skill. Failing the final attempt (below 80%) results in failure of the course.
Attendance
Attendance
You are required to attend a virtual onboarding session prior to the start of their first term. In addition, you are required to attend all scheduled immersive learning activities
In addition to the University’s Attendance Policy, the following topics address the School of Nursing’s expectations.
Attendance Policy for Onsite and Virtual Activities
Success in this program requires your full commitment, including attendance at all onsite and virtual activities for each course that requires them.
General Expectations
Onsite and virtual activities are subject to the attendance policy.
Students must arrive 10-15 minutes early to onsite and virtual activities.
A student is considered:
Tardy: 1-10 minutes late
Absent: More than 10 minutes late and student may be dismissed from activity
Two tardy arrivals equal one absence.
Absence Consequences
Two total consequences (onsite or virtual) = automatic course failure
Extenuating circumstances leading to two or more absences will be reviewed by the Academic Program Head on a case-by-case basis and may still result in failure from the course.
Make-Up Activities
The Academic Program Head and/or nursing faculty will determine the schedule for any make-up days for missed onsite or virtual activities.
Failure to attend a scheduled make-up day may result in a failure.
All missed hours must be made up before the end of the term (unless prior approval is given).
Clinical Orientations (click to expand)
Clinical facilities may require students and faculty to complete a site-specific orientation.
If you do not attend the clinical orientation:
You will not be permitted to perform any course clinical hours until the orientation has been completed.
You will be considered absent until the clinical orientation is completed.
Reporting Absences
If you know you'll miss an onsite or virtual activity:
You must contact the appropriate immersive learning instructor at least 30 minutes before the assigned start time.
If you do contact the instructor, this may result in disciplinary action.
In an emergency (e.g., a severe accident/injury), contact:
Your faculty or Academic Program Head as soon as possible
After an Absence
All missed hours must be completed satisfactorily
If missed hours are not made up by the end of the term (and no prior arrangements are made and approved by the Academic Program Head), the student will fail the course
You are responsible for:
Getting any missed information
Being prepared for all assignments on your return, unelss you've made prior arragements with the faculty member

A student who fails a course due to excessive absences will be subject to:
Etiquette for Virtual Activities
Etiquette for Virtual Activities
You are expected to be in uniform for virtual activities and participate with their cameras on. You must be mindful of your background and environment to ensure a professional presentation when on camera. You should participate in virtual activity discussions via audio/microphone as opposed to using the chat box.
Medical Release Criteria
Medical Release Criteria
The School of Nursing is concerned for the health and well-being of students, faculty, and patients. Any nursing student who wishes to return to immersive learning activities after an extended injury and/or illness will be asked to present the Academic Program Head with a medical release signed by a health care practitioner indicating that he or she is approved to return to activities with/without identified restrictions. The student will incur any financial responsibility for this medical release.
