Ron and Kathy Assaf College of Nursing (ACON) 2024–2025 109 for academic inactivity, have changed significantly so that there is reasonable expectation that the applicant can perform satisfactorily if permitted to resume studies. This should be documented in the student’s file. Readmission will be at the discretion of the program director. Transfer Credits Undergraduate general education credits are evaluated and transferred through the Transfer Evaluation Services.

To be considered for credit, a course must have been taken at a regionally accredited program and be the equivalent of a course offered in the NSU program. 3. The student must have earned a passing grade (C or higher for undergraduate, or B or higher for graduate) in the course. 4. Students must submit the syllabus of any course, for which they are seeking credit, directly to the program director to assure course equivalency. Additional documentation may be required by the program director before credit may be granted. 5. Only courses completed prior to matriculation into a program will be considered for transfer credit. 6. The program director and the associate dean must approve the transfer credits. 7. A transfer credit form will be submitted to the Office of the University Registrar. 8. A copy of the transfer credit form with all supporting documents (e.g., syllabus, assignments, etc.) will be placed in the student file.
