Repeating Required Courses
All students attending IUSON Core Campuses of IUPUI and IUB must earn a minimum Indiana University cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.7 on a 4.0 scale at the time of application. Of the general education courses specifically required for application, no more than three may be repeated to achieve a minimum grade of C (2.0). Over the course of the BSN degree program, no more than two of the science/math courses (Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology and Finite Math) may be repeated in order to achieve an acceptable grade. In the case of courses with a laboratory component, the didactic and lab are considered one course. The grade earned on the second attempt will be used for calculation of GPA for admission purposes. This policy relates to IU and transfer courses, and students who are not able to meet the minimum criteria are ineligible. For more details, please see Policy H_01 found in the IUSON Box site for policy https://iu.box.com/iuson-policies.
Auditing of Courses
Students may register for general-education classes that will not apply to their BSN degree on a credit or audit basis. Students auditing a course must officially register for the class and pay any applicable fees. Upon completion, the course is entered on the permanent university transcript as taken for no credit (NC). Required general-education courses taken for NC will not apply toward completion of nursing degree requirements. Students should check with an academic counselor as to procedures and fees for auditing classes.
Students may not audit nursing practicum courses. Permission to audit a didactic nursing course depends on availability of space, faculty consent, and demonstration of adequate program progression on the part of the student.
