Test/Assignment Procedures & Policies: Students are expected to take exams (and submit assignments) at the scheduled times. As this is an online class, cancelation or delay of University classes due to adverse weather or other unexpected events will not affect the assignment schedule (i.e. dates and/or times). In the event of a documented circumstance which prevents a student from submitting assignments at the scheduled time: 1. The student must communicate with the course faculty prior to the scheduled time for the assignment. 2. An alternative schedule will be determined at the discretion of the course faculty. 3. Unexcused late assignments will not be accepted and will receive a grade of zero. Readmission Policy: Students must achieve a grade of B or higher to progress. Failure to attain this grade will require application for readmission to the MSN Nursing program. See the Graduate Nursing Student Handbook for the application process and forms. Student Progress: The course faculty will provide students with grades and feedback on the Blackboard site of the course at least one time prior to the midterm. Faculty Student Conferences: Students are strongly encouraged to schedule conferences with the course faculty at any time during the semester. If a student has questions or difficulty, relevant to this course, the student should schedule an appointment with the course faculty as soon as possible. Effective communication between students and faculty is essential to the teaching-learning process. Attendance Policy : In accordance with the Graduate School and the Department of Baccalaureate and Graduate Nursing policy, regular class attendance is expected of all students; if a student has >20% absences, the student may be assigned a final course grade of F.
