EXAMINATION GUIDELINES

General Introduction

As a student in the nursing Program, you will be taking exams at various times in the different courses. The following general guidelines may be used by the faculty where appropriate.

  1. Students are expected to be present for all exams. In the event of an absence, the student must call the Department prior to the exam. A note substantiating the reason for the exam absence must be submitted by the student to the module coordinator. Otherwise, an absent student will receive a grade of zero for that exam.
  2. Exams will begin and end on time. Late students will be admitted at the discretion of the faculty.

All articles must be placed on the floor under the desk. Answer sheets should be kept as protected as possible. Keep your eyes on your own work. Absolutely no talking will be allowed. Once the exam has begun, no one will be allowed to leave the classroom until he/she has turned in his/her completed exam.

  • When taking an exam, all answers should be recorded directly on the answer sheet unless otherwise specified. No answers are to be recorded on the exam itself. This prevents errors in transferring and utilizes time more efficiently.
  • Upon completing the exam, pick up your belongings, come to the front of the room, turn in your exam and answer sheet and quietly leave the room. Do not congregate in the hall outside the exam room, as it is very distracting to the students still taking an exam. Do not reenter classroom while students are still taking the exam.

EXAMINATION POLICY STATEMENT

Each student must achieve at least 75% in each course.

The one exception to the above policy is the NUR 328 Medication Administration Technique. In order to receive a passing grade for NUR 328 the student must achieve a minimum final test grade of 90% on the section testing calculation of dosages, and 80% on the section testing medications theory.

Revised and passed 4/01
