DISMISSAL POLICY FOR THE NURSING MAJOR

Students are continuously evaluated by the Nursing faculty during their professional baccalaureate nursing education at SUNY College at Brockport. Students can be dismissed from the Program at any time during their junior or senior year based on the following criteria:

1. Failure of any course within the nursing major.  (Please see readmission policy for criteria for readmission.)
2. Failure to provide safe care to clients as outlined on clinical evaluation instruments for Levels I-III.
3. Academic dishonesty such as cheating on an examination, theft of an examination, or plagiarism of assignments from any printed source or the work of others. (Refer to College Policy on Academic Dishonesty)
4. Lack of commitment to the values of the nursing profession as evidenced through behavior and attitudes expressed in the classroom or clinical placement site. (Refer to Guidelines for Suitability and Capacity to Enter the Profession of Nursing.)
5. Severe maladaption to the educational process as evidenced by:
• student’s lack of ability to participate productively in a classroom situation.
• a consistent pattern of inadequate class preparation.
• a consistent pattern of late completion of assignments.
• irresponsible behavior in class or clinical placement site.
• a consistent pattern of absence from class or clinical.

Students will receive written notification from their nursing instructor of impending dismissal due to unsafe behavior. Students may be asked to leave a clinical site immediately in the event of unsafe behavior.  Written notification will follow. 
Students will be given the opportunity to be heard. In the event of dismissal from the Program the student will be informed of the right to appeal. (Refer to College Grade Appeals Policy.)
