  3. An overall "C" grade point average is required for graduation.
  4. A student who receives two or more grades below "C" in required nursing courses, in either the same course or in separate courses, at any time during the program will be dismissed from the College of Nursing. Students may apply for readmission following the guidelines published in the BSN Student Handbook.
