Nursing Student Handbook 2024-2025

Ron and Kathy Assaf College of Nursing (ACON) 2024–2025 111 will refer the student to financial aid and then, with this information, establish the parameters of the administrative break. A student will not be able to obtain financial aid during an administrative break in enrollment regardless of the reason for the administrative break in enrollment. The AB Form must detail any dialogue and agreement of the administrative break and should be signed and dated by the program director, department chair, and student, indicating the anticipated time for return. The administrative break plan should indicate that the student agrees to meet with the financial aid office prior to resuming the first day of class and should report on the meeting to the program director. During an administrative break in enrollment, the student must follow the prescribed instructions and requirements associated with the administrative break in enrollment and, if applicable, complete rehabilitation or treatment for the reason that precipitated the necessity for the administrative break in enrollment. To resume the program, the student may be required to meet with the program director and show that the preestablished instructions/requirements/documented plan memorialize on the AB Form have been met and that the student shows a reasonable likelihood that previous problem(s) will not recur. The program director will make a recommendation to the dean as to whether the student may resume the program. 3. Course Status During an Administrative Break in Enrollment If a student will be on an administrative break in enrollment for 50 percent or more of any course and is in passing status (i.e., miss half or more of a course), the student will be withdrawn from the course(s) (see the Withdrawal from a Course section in this handbook). In all such cases, a grade of withdrawal (W) will be noted on the student’s transcript. In such cases of withdrawal from a course, the student must repeat the course in its entirety during the next course offering, after returning from an administrative break in enrollment, and will receive the earned grade. Until the course is repeated, the student may not progress to the next class year of study. If a student did not begin one or more courses during the semester in which the student begins the administrative break in enrollment, those courses will not be reflected on the student’s academic record and transcript. If a student will be on an administrative break in enrollment for less than 50 percent of any course and is in passing status (i.e., miss less than half of a course), the student will be issued an incomplete contract for the course. The plan of the incomplete must be finished in the semester the student returns. The student’s program director will sign the incomplete contract as completed by the faculty member(s), regarding possible dates of return and time allowed for making up missed coursework and examinations prior to finalizing the incomplete plan with the student. While on an administrative break in enrollment, a student is not eligible to attend any class or laboratory session, make up incomplete class work, or take any class examinations. A student requesting an administrative break in enrollment beyond one year in length must meet with the program director and the department chair, and a recommendation will be made to the dean who will make the final decision. Students in the B.S.N. or A.P.R.N. programs should be encouraged to return as soon as possible in order to be successful in their NCLEX or certification examinations. Time away from clinical classes impacts testing success.
