Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory Progress

The University of Minnesota School of Nursing requires you maintain a minimum term and cumulative GPA of 3.0 while in the MN program.

The following are instances that are subject to academic probation and possible suspension:

• When your cumulative GPA falls below 3.0
• When your term GPA falls below 3.0
• When you earn an unsatisfactory grade (lower than a C-) in one course required for the MN program

When you earn less than a C- in a required course, or when you fail to complete required courses, you are out of progression and are required to submit a revised program plan and petition to the Graduate Admissions & Progression Committee. Failure to complete an approved progression plan will result in dismissal from the MN program. Contact the Office of Student & Career Advancement Services for assistance with petitions.

When a student does not successfully complete two or more required courses in the nursing curriculum, the student is immediately dismissed from the MN program. This can include withdrawals from courses, a grade lower than C- in two different courses, or unsuccessful completion twice in the same course. This includes failures and withdrawals that occur in the same semester or in different semesters.

You may retake a class one time only.
