Failed Courses

Nursing students will be given only one repeat attempt per failed course (with the exception of NURS 220 or NURS 492), and only two failed courses within the pre-licensure Nursing programs may be repeated. Dental Hygiene students may repeat no more than two failed general education courses. Each failed course may be repeated only once. Furthermore, no courses within the Dental Hygiene core curriculum (DHYG courses) may be repeated (see Dental Hygiene Program Grade Requirements section of the catalog). A student may receive financial aid even when repeatedly failing the same course.
