A former student who withdrew in good standing may make an application for readmission to their program of study. Students who dropped or were withdrawn from a program and wish to return to the same program can do so within three years (36 months) of their last date of attendance (LDA). Generally, a student will not be considered for readmission more than twice unless there are exceptional extenuating circumstances, such as military deployment, major emergency medical issues, or an unexpected disaster that temporarily prevents the student from continuing in the program. Students who have been dismissed from the College do not qualify for readmission.
A former student who wishes to be considered for admission to a different program of study should contact the Admissions office. The Director of Admissions should consult with the Dean of Nursing to determine the appropriate transfer of credits, Satisfactory Academic Progress status, and course scheduling prior to enrolling the student.
A former student seeking readmission that has been out of their program for more than one year (12 months) from their last date of attendance (LDA) should contact the Admissions office. The applicant must meet with the Director of Admissions to coordinate readmissions, discuss and satisfactorily demonstrate that the barriers that prevented the student from successfully completing the program during the previous enrollment have been resolved, and that there is a reasonable probability the student can complete the program of study if the applicant is approved for readmission. Former students approved for readmission must meet all current program admissions requirements.
Applicants for readmission are reviewed by a committee comprised of the Campus President, the Dean of Nursing, the Business Office Manager, and Director of Financial Aid, or their designees. Applicants approved for readmission are required to meet with the Business Office Manager and the Director of Financial Aid (or their designees) and complete all necessary applications and documents to ensure that their past and future tuition and fees obligations will be satisfied in a timely manner. Applicants approved for readmission will have their transcripts reviewed by the Dean of Nursing who will determine which course credit(s) previously earned will be counted toward program completion and the course(s) which need to be repeated. Approval of an applicant for readmission is subject to space availability.
A student dismissed for failure to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements may apply for readmission if there is reasonable probability that they can achieve the grades necessary to raise the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) and can increase their credits earned to credits attempted ratio to comply with the institution’s SAP policy. If approved for readmission, the student will reenter in a status of Academic Probation. A student may remain in a status of Academic Probation for only one quarter. A student who fails to meet SAP after the first quarter will be dismissed. In addition, a student readmitted in a status of Academic Probation for the purpose of regaining SAP status is not eligible for any form of federal grant, loan, or work study funding until they correct the condition that caused the loss of SAP standing (See SAP policy for specific requirements). If a readmitted student does not qualify for financial aid, they are responsible for the payment of all new tuition and fees from their own resources until such time as the student may prequalify for student financial assistance.
Applicants who are granted readmission may be required to complete additional requirements to demonstrate academic and clinical competencies prior to re-admission at the discretion of the College.
A readmitted student is required to sign a new enrollment agreement which lists the current tuition and fees, the revised graduation date, and acknowledges receipt of any other required disclosures. The student must be current with any unpaid balance from any prior enrollment unless payment arrangements have been established by the Campus President. With assistance from the Registrar, the Dean of Nursing, will establish a course schedule for program completion. All previously attempted course credits count towards the academic dismissal policy.
