Application Deadlines

Consult the College of Nursing Web site for application dates and starting terms. 

 


Academic Regulations

Students in the nursing program are subject to the general regulations of the University and, in addition, to the specific regulations in the College of Nursing.

Academic Progression

Students in the College of Nursing must be enrolled in nursing courses and/or progressing toward the Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Students failing to meet this requirement are subject to administrative enrollment cancellation.

For B.S.N. Pre-RN-Licensure option students: Because of constraints in clinical facilities, a student must notify the College of Nursing in writing of his or her intent to return, even if an absence in enrollment has been for one term. Notice must be received by March 15 for return in the Summer or Fall term and by November 1 for the Spring term. College of Nursing students who do not enroll in the University for three terms or more must reapply for admission to the College of Nursing and the University of New Mexico. Because a returning student is subject to the regulations of the Catalog in effect at the time of readmission, a re-evaluation of the student’s academic standing is performed. The student must receive academic advisement prior to registration and progression is not guaranteed. 

For B.S.N. Pre-RN-Licensure option students: Because clinical spaces are limited, all students are expected to pre-register for clinical courses prior to the end of the current term. Priority for clinical space is given to full-time students who are progressing satisfactorily, then to part-time progressing students with a pre-approved plan of studies, and last to students who are repeating or returning after an absence from the program.

Undergraduate Grade Requirements

The passing grade for all core and prerequisite courses is "C" or 73% (not "C-"). The passing grade for all NMNEC College of Nursing courses is "C" or 77%. Students who do not earn a grade of "C" (77%) or better in any required nursing course, or who withdraw from a course, are not allowed to progress. Prior to repeating a nursing course, the student's record is reviewed by the academic advisor; progress is monitored by the advisor. Students who do not earn a grade of "C" (77%) or better in any required nursing course on the second attempt or on any two required nursing courses or who withdraw from any two nursing courses are disenrolled from the College of Nursing. There is a mandatory waiting period before they may reapply; the length of time is determined by NMNEC and is currently 2 years. Please refer to the College of Nursing Student Handbook for further grade and progression policies. 

NOTE: Students must achieve a passing HESI Exit Exam score to progress to NMNC 4545.

RN to B.S.N. Degree Completion option students who do not earn a grade of "C" (77%) or better in any two required upper-division nursing courses, including repeating a course in which a grade of below "C" (77%) was previously earned, are disenrolled from the College of Nursing.

Prior to repeating a nursing course, the student’s record is reviewed by the academic advisor; progress is monitored by the advisor. Students receiving a grade of "C-" or below in any two required upper-division nursing courses are not allowed to continue in the College of Nursing but are entitled to file an exception to the policy. However, students are not allowed to enroll in any nursing classes until the exception process is final.

Students who have failed a course may only re-enroll in the course AFTER the failing grade is officially recorded on the student's record. This process may NOT be started prior to the posting of the grade. Likewise, students who have received an Incomplete in a course may only re-enroll in the course AFTER the Incomplete grade is officially recorded on the student's record. This process may NOT be started prior to the posting of the grade. Any failure of a required course in Nursing Level 1 requires the student to withdraw and re-apply.

Probation and Suspension

An undergraduate student is placed on academic probation when the overall grade point average drops below 2.00. The student is subject to suspension if the cumulative grade point average does not rise during the first probationary period or if the cumulative grade point average is less than 2.00 at the end of the second term of the probationary period. Students who do not earn a grade of "C" or better must have an approved learning plan for progression.

Failure and Readmission Policy

There is a waiting period before students may reapply to the College of Nursing; current policies are provided in the College of Nursing Student Handbook. An evaluation of the student’s application is performed. Should the student gain readmission, they are subject to the regulations of the Catalog at the time of readmission. The student must receive academic advisement prior to registration. If a student is readmitted, they are required to start at the beginning of the program unless previous permission is granted.

RN to B.S.N. Degree Completion Option

The RN to B.S.N. Degree Completion option is available for registered nurses (RNs) primarily through online courses, with the exception of a final synthesis course. Individual arrangements are made for synthesis hours. See College of Nursing Web site for advisement details.

All RNs seeking entrance into the College of Nursing must meet requirements for admission to the University and to the College of Nursing, specifically: a valid RN license or be eligible for an RN license in any U.S. state (which must be kept current throughout enrollment), a 2.5 cumulative GPA, and at least 26 credit hours of college coursework applicable to the B.S.N. degree. Recent graduates must obtain an RN license within 14 weeks of acceptance. 

A requirement of the College of Nursing is that all students complete ENGL 1120 prior to enrolling in any upper-division nursing courses. 

College credit earned in associate-degree nursing programs or in hospital-based diploma schools of nursing is transferable to the University, provided the original program was offered in a regionally accredited institution and the nursing program was accredited by a national accrediting agency. Such credit may be applied toward meeting the graduation requirements for a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. See Transfer of Credit.

A Plan of Studies (POS) for each student is determined at the time of enrollment into the RN to B.S.N. Degree Completion option program. Students are expected to follow the POS throughout the program and should work with an academic advisor for any changes. Each RN student must demonstrate achievement of the outcomes expected of all College of Nursing baccalaureate students. All upper-division nursing courses, with the exception of NURS 301 and NURS 302, are 3 credit hours and are offered in 8-week blocks. Students are expected to take two courses consecutively (8 weeks each, back-to-back) every term.

Each RN student is counseled individually to help clarify career goals and to plan an educational program that is of greatest benefit in meeting those goals.

Prospective RN students are urged to contact the College of Nursing Student Services Office prior to registration. The College of Nursing supports career mobility for nurses.
