Clinical Performance Score (CPEC) 100%

B= 80-89
C= 75-79.9 **Effective May 18, 2014
D= 60-74
* Grades will not be rounded.
According to the Academic Progression and Graduation Requirements for All Students, “Students must have a grade of “C” or better in all required courses in order to progress to the next level in the nursing program. Any didactic nursing course with a required co-requisite clinical course is integrated and inseparable from the clinical course; therefore, a student must pass both courses with a “C” or better in the same semester in order to be eligible to enroll in the next level of courses. Students admitted to the ADN Program in spring 2014 and thereafter are ineligible to continue in the program when they have two or more course failures. A course failure means a grade of “D” or “F” and when a student withdraws (drops) from a course.”
100% attendance in clinical and simulations.
Clinical calendar will be emailed to each student after assignments are made.
