Retention
Scholarship appropriate for students in a School of Nursing graduate program is demonstrated through satisfactory completion of coursework, defined as obtaining a course grade of "A" or "B." The following retention policy applies specifically to all graduate nursing courses with the NURS prefix for degrees conferred by the School of Nursing:
- Students who obtain a course grade of "D" or "F" in a graduate nursing specialization are withdrawn from the graduate program without the option of repeating the course.
- Students may only earn one course grade of "C" and stay enrolled in graduate nursing programs. If a second course grade of "C" is earned, students will no longer be allowed to progress in the graduate nursing program, regardless of the cumulative GPA. Repeating a course in which there is originally a grade of "C" does not eliminate the original course grade of "C" from being applied toward this exclusion policy.
- Per the SIUE Graduate School policy, all students must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher to graduate.
For more information on the SIUE Graduate School Retention Policies, please refer to the Graduate Handbook.
