RN-BSN Progression Policy
For students matriculated in the RN-BSN program, the following grade scale will be used:
| A = 94-100 |
| A- = 90-93 |
| B+ = 87-89 |
| B = 84-86 | B- = 80-83 |
| C+ = 77-79 |

PRO 306: Introduction to Baccalaureate Practice for Nurses and the College Wide Computer Exam must be completed satisfactorily before completing any courses in the Nursing Major. In the event that students do not satisfactorily complete PRO 306 and/or the Computer Exam they will not be allowed to continue in or register for any nursing courses until these requirements are met.
If either PRO 306 and/or the Computer Exam are not completed satisfactorily, the student will be required to drop any nursing courses for which they are registered and work on developing the skills needed in these courses before proceeding. Remediation activities and courses may be recommended by the supervising faculty to ensure the skill level needed to be successful in the program is present before the student repeats the courses.
Additionally, satisfactory progress and continued progression through the RN-BSN program requires students who are enrolled in the following courses to earn a minimum grade of “C” in these courses.
| NUR 344 Health Assessment |
| NUR 321 Pharmacology |

Those who repeat a nursing course and earn less than a “C” will be dismissed from the program.
