NOTES  
1.) No grade lower than "C-" will be accepted for any required Math and Science course.  Science courses in which students earn a "C-," "D+," "D," or "D-" may be repeated with permission of the Chairperson of the Natural Sciences Department.  When Key courses with grades of "C-," "D+," "D," or "D-" or "F" are repeated, both course grades will be calculated in the Key Course average.  
2.) All students must file for Candidacy in order to progress to the clinical phase.  To be considered, students must register for Candidacy (4199) in Spring Session I immediately preceding the semester they plan to begin clinical courses.  
3.) Students will be dropped from the program for grades less than "C".  In addition, a requirement for completion is satisfactory evaluation in each clinical area.  Students must earn a passing grade on a comprehensive Nursing Exam and a grade of 100 on a final dosage calculation examination.
