School of Nursing Reenter Policy for Pre-Licensure Programs

Students who have been dismissed from an undergraduate, pre-licensure School of Nursing program at Rasmussen University part of American Public University System ("Rasmussen") (defined as the Practical Nursing Diploma program, Professional Nursing Associate's degree program, and the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program through the Standard Entrance Accelerated BSN Entrance Option and the Second Degree Accelerated BSN Entrance Option) for disciplinary or conduct reasons will not be eligible for reentry into Rasmussen's School of Nursing programs and are not eligible for reentry to any program through the Rasmussen academic unit.

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Students who have been administratively withdrawn from an undergraduate, pre-licensure School of Nursing program at Rasmussen due to 1) twice failing the same core course as designated by course prefix NUR or PRN, 2) failing any two core courses as designated by course prefix NUR or PRN, or 3) twice withdrawing from the same course as designated by course prefix NUR or PRN are eligible for reentry into the same School of Nursing program within the Rasmussen academic unit after two full academic quarters have passed from the last quarter in which attendance and grades were posted when Rasmussen's 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 into the same School of Nursing program within the Rasmussen academic unit 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 Undergraduate Handbook for Rasmussen University part of American Public University System for additional information.

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 See Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy . The final quarter of a pre-licensure, undergraduate School of Nursing program is defined as the quarter in which the student is enrolled in the Capstone or Transition to Practice course for the first time. This exception will be to repeat the failed course(s) one time in the subsequent quarter if the following criteria are met:

• The student has only one quarter to pass their repeated course(s), including withdrawn and failed attempts.
• The student must be meeting SAP and other continuing enrollment requirements (including clinical compliance) to be eligible to repeat the final term failed course(s).
• The students understand they may not be eligible for financial aid based on total credits registered.

This provision only applies if the student remains continuously enrolled to repeat the failed course in the quarter immediately following the quarter where the failed grade was earned.
