PN Readmission

The guidelines for readmission are as follows:

The number of unfilled spaces for each class is determined by availability of faculty and
clinical facilities.
Students who apply for readmission are those who were previously enrolled in a nursing course, but failed to progress to the next level (W, EW, or failing grade).
Only one repetition per level is allowed.
Applications for readmission may be obtained from the PN Program Coordinator on the DeWitt campus.
The completed application must be received in the office of the Practical Nursing Program on the DeWitt campus no later than May 14^thto be considered for readmission to the fall semester or November 15^th to be considered for readmission to the spring semester. Applications will only be accepted by mail and no late applications will be accepted.
Since a limited number of spaces may be available for readmission, the date and time of receipt in the nursing department on the DeWitt campus will be noted on each application.
Students applying for readmission will be ranked according to the following criteria and are admitted in a 3 to 1 ratio with applicants seeking alternate admission until either group or space available is exhausted. Remaining space(s) will be filled from the non-exhausted group.

Priority Ranking	Level I	Level II	Level III
First	Passed 3 of 4 required PN courses	Passed 5 of 6 required PN courses	Passed 1 of 2 required PN courses
Second	Passed 2 of 4 required PN courses	Passed 4 of 6 required PN courses	Passed none of the required PN courses
Third	Passed 1 of 4 required PN courses	Passed 3 of 6 required PN courses
Fourth	Passed none of the required PN courses	Passed 2 of 6 required PN courses
Fifth		Passed 1 of 6 required PN courses
Sixth		Passed none of the required PN courses

When two or more applicants have equal priority ranking, consideration will be given to the applicant with the highest number of quality points for PCCUA nursing courses taken prior to the level for which the applicant is seeking readmission.
A current health statement, proof of current immunizations and TB skin test, as well as a current AHA Healthcare Provider CPR card must be on file in the Department of Nursing on the DeWitt campus before an applicant is considered.
The Math Competency Exam is a prerequisite for students. Exam times must be scheduled with the PN Program Coordinator and must be taken within three months of enrollment. A maximum of three (3) opportunities will be provided to score 90% or above on the exam. A basic calculator may be used. Any missed exam will be counted as a fail. Applicants who fail to score a minimum of 90% on the Competency Exam will not be eligible for enrollment.
Applicants will be notified of admission status at least one week before regular fall or spring registration.
Applicants who are not selected or who elect not to enroll must submit another readmission application and meet Math Competency Exam requirements to be considered for the next year.
Readmitted students are ineligible for pre-registration and must register during regular registration.
Rare exceptions to the readmission policy can be made by the Faculty Committee.
