School of Nursing Reenter Policy for Pre-Licensure Programs

Students who have been dismissed from a School of Nursing program for disciplinary or conduct reasons will not be eligible for reentry into any School of Nursing program and are not eligible for reentry to Rasmussen University.

Reentry is subject to both the School of Nursing Repeating Courses and Course Withdrawal Policy for Pre-Licensure Programs and the School of Nursing Course Expiration Policy for Undergraduate Programs.

Students who have been administratively withdrawn from a School of Nursing pre licensure program due to 1) failing the same core nursing course twice, 2) failing any two core nursing courses, or 3) withdrawing from the same nursing course twice are eligible for reentry into the same Nursing program after two full academic quarters have passed from the last quarter in which attendance and grades were posted when the Academic Appeal Committee approves an exception to the School of Nursing Repeating Courses and Course Withdrawal Policy for Pre-Licensure Programs. Otherwise, the student may be eligible for reentry after four full academic quarters have passed from the last quarter in which attendance and grades were posted, at which time all core nursing courses will have expired. See the School of Nursing Handbook for additional information.

Reentry into a previously attempted Nursing Diploma, Associate's Degree, or pre licensure Bachelor's Degree program is limited to one time for students withdrawn for not meeting program standards as defined in the Nursing Handbook.

Nursing students will have their previously completed nursing core courses (as designated by course prefix NGR, NUR, and PRN) assessed against the current program to determine which course(s) will be applied to the program into which they are enrolling. All previously completed general education courses will be applied as required in the program. Rasmussen University will allow the student to reenter at the appropriate level in a current program if a space in the program is available and all other reentry requirements are met.

All core Nursing coursework, whether passed or failed, from any prior enrollment will remain on the student’s academic record. When a nursing student reenters after the course expiration period as defined in the School of Nursing Course Expiration Policy for Undergraduate Programs, no previously failed core nursing courses will apply for the purpose of determining the number of failed core nursing courses or apply for the purpose of determining Satisfactory Academic Progress. See Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.

For graduates of a Rasmussen University Nursing program who are returning for a subsequent Nursing credential, no previously failed or withdrawn core nursing courses will count for the purpose of determining the number of failed or withdrawn core nursing courses in the new enrollment. All core nursing coursework whether passed, withdrawn, or failed will remain on the student’s academic record. All previously passed or failed unexpired core nursing courses will apply for the purpose of determining Satisfactory Academic Progress. See Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.
