Academic Standing
Good Standing
Students who maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 and earn a grade of “C” (2.0) or better in all required general education and didactic courses and a grade of “S” in all required practicum/clinical courses and are progressing normally will be considered in good standing.
Out of Sequence (OOS)
A student who has maintained the minimum cumulative GPA, and earned a passing grade in all required courses, but who has interrupted his/her course of study, or is in part time study in tracks in which adictated full time progression plan is in place (e.g. not applicable to RN to BSN students whose plan of study is flexible). This includes:
- Students transferring in to IUSON are out of sequence:
- Temporary transfer students are always considered out of sequence.
- Permanent transfer students are out of sequence until such time as they have beenplaced in a permanent seat in a cohort.
- Students who have withdrawn from required courses for any reason are out of sequence until the student has successfully completed the courses that he/she has withdrawn from.
- Students who have opted to sit out from required courses for any reason are out of sequence until the student has successfully completed a full semester upon return.
Note: Once an out of sequence student has been permanently placed in a new cohort in full timestudy, (and after one initial successful semester following the interruption or transfer) he/she is no longer out of sequence (and is in good standing). Part time students are always out of sequence.
Students who have interrupted their program of study for any reason or desiring transfer to an IUSON core school are required to submit a written request to the chairperson of the BSN C/SA Admission, Progression, and Graduation (APG) Committee, using a standard form. Students seeking reentry should make their request (received by the APG committee) by March 15 for fall semester and September 15 for spring. All requests for reentry will be evaluated on the basis of the availability of resources. Reentry of students who have interrupted their study for any reason is not guaranteed. Students who reenter must adhere to the policies and curriculum of the School of Nursing that are in effect at the time of reentry. Transfer students should refer to the student transfer policies for details (AFS-38 Transfer Policy).
