Admission of RN-BSN Students

1. Prospective students should refer to the program website at https://online.uah.edu/programs/rn-to-bsn.aspx to determine eligibility for the online program based on state residency and work location. 
2. Admission to the RN-BSN track requires admission to the University as well as the following minimum requirements:
   1. Minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0.
   2. Graduation from an accredited associate degree nursing program or a diploma program.
   3. Licensure must be from an approved state. Verification of your states eligibility is provided by the College of Nursing.
3. Registered nurse students must possess an unencumbered current license and maintain this status throughout the program.  A registered nurse student will not be allowed to continue in the program if the nursing license is placed on probation, suspended, or revoked status. 

Progression and Graduation Standards

1. Outstanding co-requisite courses may be completed while taking nursing courses. However, it is advised that outstanding co-requisite courses be completed prior to beginning the curriculum. 
   1. 12 of the last 18 credit hours must be completed at UAH to be awarded a degree
2. A minimum grade of "C" or above must be earned in all required nursing courses and any outstanding co-requisite courses.

      1. A = 90 - 100
      2. B = 80 - 89
      3. C = 75 - 79
      4. D = 60 - 74
      5. F <60

4. A student who receives two or more grades below "C" in required nursing courses, in either the same course or in separate courses, at any time during the program will be dismissed from the College of Nursing. Retroactive withdrawal or other related progression decisions from courses after academic dismissal from the nursing program does not result in a reversal of the dismissal.
5. Students may withdraw from the same course twice. After the second withdrawal, the student either earns a grade or withdraws from the program.
