A grade of S (Satisfactory) will be recorded on the transcript for the above courses according to criteria determined by the faculty.
Nursing elective credit for B490/B492 (Clinical Experience in Nursing/Independent Study in Nursing) may be awarded to RNs holding valid specialty certification from a professional nursing organization in an appropriate area of nursing. A maximum of 2 credit hours may be awarded.
Students also may pursue the portfolio option if they believe they have knowledge and skills consistent with specific required course objectives/outcomes. If students wish to pursue this mechanism for advanced standing, they must contact the instructor responsible for the course. This should be done during the semester prior to the semester in which the students would actually need to take the course. (Please see portfolio review process under SON academic policies.)
For specific information on advanced-standing procedures, registered nurse applicants should contact the academic nursing counselor on the campus of enrollment.
