Progression Policies

Progression is monitored by the Assistant Dean Undergraduate Programs and the AUSON faculty. Students must meet the following requirements to maintain continuous progression/enrollment in the nursing major:

Maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.75 in their current degree program;
- This means that transfer credit hours and/or courses from previous Averett degree(s) will not be included when computing your GPA as a nursing major.
Criminal background check remains satisfactory per VBON regulations;
Satisfactorily meet both didactic and clinical elements of each clinical course
- If a student fails a nursing clinical course during the semester, s/he will be removed from that course and any other nursing course in which s/he is enrolled.The student will be allowed to remain enrolled in non-clinical nursing courses for the remainder of the semester.
Satisfactory skills lab performance;
Continued health clearance;
Current CPR certification.

Failure to meet any of these requirements may result in dismissal from the nursing major.

If a student earns a grade below a “C” for any course required for the nursing major, she/he will be dismissed from the nursing major. Students who have been dismissed may reapply after one semester away – either the Fall or Spring semester. (Summer sessions do not count toward the one semester away.) Readmission is not guaranteed; however, all applications will be reviewed by the nursing faculty.

When a student is dismissed from the nursing major, s/he is required to meet with their faculty advisor before leaving. The purpose of the meeting is to advise the student how to best prepare for applying for readmission.

Note: Any interruption in matriculation through the major (i.e. withdrawal, leave of absence, dismissal, etc.), may impact a student’s eligibility for financial aid. Each student is responsible for contacting the Office of Financial Aid with regard to his/her eligibility.

Note: A grade of “C” in high school science and math courses is strongly preferred.
