Academic Eligibility and Progression Standards

Students in the baccalaureate nursing program must attain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 in all residence work to enter the senior year. A grade of "C" or better is required in all undergraduate nursing courses (designated NUR). In order to progress, students must achieve a minimum of "C" in each course identified as prerequisite.

Student earnings grades of "D", "F" or "WF" in a single nursing course may repeat the course one time. Students earning grades of "D", "F" or "WF" the second time the course is taken, will be academically dismissed. Upon notification of any grade of "D", "F", or "WF", the student is required to meet with the Associate Dean, Undergraduate Program, for academic advisement.  A letter from the Associate Dean addressing progression in the nursing program must be signed by the student.

Students may repeat no more than one nursing course during one enrollment at the Medical College of Georgia School of Nursing. At the time of the second failure, in a nursing course, the student is academically dismissed. A student may apply for readmission one year following dismissal, in accordance with standard application procedures.

University System and Legislative Examination Requirements

All undergraduate students are required to meet Board of Regents and legislative examination requirements. These exams include the Regents Testing Program Examination, and the examinations of the Georgia Constitution and history and the U.S. Constitution and history. CLEP exams do not meet these requirements.
