The College measures qualitative progress on the basis on a 4.0 scale. All courses for which a student receives a grade will be included when calculating the student’s CGPA, except that of a withdrawal (‘W’) or incomplete (‘I’) will not be included in determining a student’s cumulative CGPA, and if a student repeats a course, only the higher grade for that course will be included when calculating the student’s GPA. (See CGPA requirements at each Evaluation Level in the Academic Grading & Performance Requirement).
For the pre-licensure BSN and ADN programs, students not obtaining a grade of ‘C+’ or better in a course must repeat the course and maintain this minimum academic standard in order to continue at Denver College of Nursing and to be eligible for graduation. A grade of ‘C’, ‘D’, ‘F’ or ‘W’ is considered not- passing.
For the MSN programs, students not obtaining a grade of ‘C’ or better in a course must repeat the course and maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (B) in order to continue at Denver College of Nursing and to be eligible for graduation.
