Academic Policies & Procedures

Undergraduate Policies

Seven-Year Limit

Knowledge and competencies developed in courses that fulfill the requirements for anatomy, human physiology, finite math, chemistry, microbiology, statistics, and life span development, are considered to be time-limited for all individuals pursuing an undergraduate degree in nursing. If any courses were taken more than seven years prior to the semester before admission to the nursing undergraduate degree, the applicant must validate the related knowledge and competencies through testing, portfolio, or repeating the course to be eligible for admission and progression. The Registered Nurse (RN) student pursuing a bachelor degree is exempt from this policy assuming they have been actively working in healthcare.
