Institution/All program courses
Circumstances may arise when a student feels they need to withdraw from the program. In the event that this occurs, the student should meet with an advisor from the Office of Student Affairs to discuss their options. Students who withdraw themselves from all courses or who fail to register/enroll during any semester will automatically be considered a full withdrawal from the GGHSON. Financial aid may be impacted by withdrawal from courses including need to return disbursed funds. Student considering withdrawals should speak with a financial aid representative prior to finalizing to withdraw.
Withdrawals and “I” Grades
Withdrawal from the program does not relieve the student of their responsibility to complete requirements for courses in which an incomplete (I) grade has been assigned. If the course requirements are not completed within the agreed upon timeframe, any remaining “I” grade at the time of withdrawal is automatically converted to an “F” per SON OP 30.111. The student should contact his/her advisor, the course faculty of record or the program’s Assistant Dean to complete the required documentation.
Requesting a Leave of Absence or Returning from a Leave of Absence
Refer to Leave of Absence section or the undergraduate and graduate sections of this handbook for more information.
Medical Withdrawal
In some cases, a student may find that an unexpected illness will prevent them from meeting the minimum essential requirements or reduce their probability of successful course completion. If this occurs, the student should meet with the GGHSON Office of Student Affairs to determine their options. In the event that a medical withdrawal is determined to be necessary, an administrative withdrawal request may be submitted to the Office of the Registrar by the respective Dean or Associate Dean.
Readmission Requirements
Students who have taken a leave of absences or withdrawn for any reason must petition for readmission. All petitions for readmission must be submitted in writing to the Office of Students Affairs following the published application deadlines. The Admissions Committee may assign requirements to be met as a condition of readmission, e.g. successful completion of a comprehensive examination, renewed criminal background check and drug screening, etc.
Consideration for readmission of students who have withdrawn is based on the following criteria:
- 3.0 cumulative nursing GPA
- Space available
