Nursing Student Handbook 2024-2025

Ron and Kathy Assaf College of Nursing (ACON) 2024–2025 123 Course Assignment Format Unless specifically indicated by the professor or when prior arrangements have been made, all written work turned in for grading must be typewritten and follow the latest edition of the APA format. Students must have basic computer skills, including, but not limited to, the ability to send and receive emails and attachments, save files, and format documents. Student Performance Standards Attendance Undergraduate Students In the ACON, and for students in the B.S.N. programs, class attendance is strongly recommended. Points are given for in-class assignments, including unannounced quizzes and class activities during class. Students must be present in class to be eligible for these points. Additionally, students are expected to attend classes punctually. Class schedules are issued from time to time as an aid to faculty members and students, but the administration reserves the right to make changes, assign Saturday hours, or deviate from published schedules without notice. Working while enrolled in the entry-level nursing program and accelerated bachelor’s degree is not advised because of the intensity of the program. Students who choose to work are advised to keep their working hours to a maximum of 20 hours per week. Graduate Students For students in the graduate programs, on-campus class attendance is strongly recommended to achieve success in class. If students miss 20 percent of classes, course success is unlikely due to the delivery of crucial content and points associated with learning activities. Clinical lab activities are completed during class time which reinforces course content. Graduate students who miss class will miss points that will result in a reduction in grade(s). Should absence from class occur, resulting actions will be detailed in the syllabus. Online Courses Online courses require students to participate in the online environment as designated by the course syllabus. Failure to participate in course discussions and activities, as directed by the course for each course week, may result in deducted points and may affect the overall course grade. The online class environment relies on the engagement of each member for full exchange of course material.
