In the pre-licensure nursing programs, a student must achieve at least 78% composite exam/quiz score in all courses. If a student does not meet the minimum composite exam/quiz score, that score is recorded as the final grade and the student is considered not passing. Once the minimum composite exam/quiz score has been met, all other course assignments will be factored in to determine the final course grade. Students in the RN-BSN program option must also achieve at least 78% after having completed all graded assignments in order to pass each course. Students in the MSN degree program must maintain at least a 3.0 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) throughout the program to be in good academic standing. The cumulative grade point average is computed by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of quarter credits attempted. Transfer credits are not included in the grade point calculation in any of the nursing programs; however, they are used to satisfy the total program requirements.
A cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.5 is required for graduation and awarding of an ADN or BSN Degree. A CGPA of 3.0 is required for graduation and awarding of the MSN degree.
