Nursing students must complete 13 credits of pre-clinical courses before to applying to the Nursing Program. Please see the catalog, website, or Department for more information on application criteria and program requirements. Students may repeat only one nursing course (NU-101, NU-102, NU-201 or NU-202) in the Clinical Program. However, a repeat of NU-101 will require an approval from the Nursing Department Appeals Committee. This includes students who withdrew from a course after the first day, for any reason, and students who completed the course with a grade below C.
Because the clinical Nursing courses (NU-101, 102, 201, and 202) are intensive, students are recommended to take some courses during Winter or Summer.
