Satisfactory Standing for students admitted to U1 in Fall 2016 or earlier

Any B.N.I. U2 and U3 student and B.Sc.(N.) student admitted to U1 in Fall 2016 or earlier who meets ALL of the following criteria is in Satisfactory Standing:

• A CGPA of 2.0 or above
• No more than two failures in the non-nursing (non-NUR1) courses of the program
• No more than four credits of failure in nursing (NUR1) courses
• No failures in nursing clinical courses NUR1 233, NUR1 234, NUR1 235, NUR1 239, NUR1 331, NUR1 332, NUR1 333, NUR1 334, NUR1 335, NUR1 336, NUR1 431, NUR1 432, and NUR1 530.
• Demonstrated professional behaviour and integrity in adherence with standards in classroom and clinical studies (including performance at the Ingram School of Nursing Learning Lab and Steinberg Centre for Simulation and Interactive Learning), and adherence to the Quebec Code of Ethics of Nurses, the 成人VR视频 Code of Student Conduct (as per the Handbook on Student Rights and Responsibilities), and the Faculty of Medicine Code of Conduct.

The student who has not met the criteria of Satisfactory Standing is assessed on an individual basis by the Student Standing and Promotions Committee. The Committee takes into account several factors when making decisions as to whether a student can or cannot continue in the program and, if the student does continue, what the student standing and conditions are. Standings decisions take into account factors such as:

• the student鈥檚 pattern of performance;
• extenuating circumstances (e.g., illness, family crisis);
• reason for failure in a clinical course;
• degree of violation of code of ethics and/or code of conduct.

Satisfactory Standing for students commencing U1 in Fall 2017

Any U1, U2, and U3 student who meets ALL of the following criteria is in Satisfactory Standing:

• A CGPA of 2.0 or above;
• No more than 7 credits of failure in non-clinical courses in the program;
• No failures in clinical courses NUR1 230, 231, 233, 234, 235, 236, 331, 332, 333, 335, 336, 431, 432, 529, 530, or 531;
• Demonstrated professional behaviour and integrity in adherence with standards in classroom and clinical studies (including performance at the Ingram School of Nursing Learning Lab and Steinberg Centre for Simulation and Interactive Learning), and adherence to the Quebec Code of Ethics of Nurses, the 成人VR视频 Code of Student Conduct (as per the Handbook on Student Rights and Responsibilities), and the Faculty of Medicine Code of Conduct.

Any B.Sc.(N.) U0 student who meets ALL of the following criteria is in Satisfactory Standing:

• A CGPA of 2.0 or above;
• No more than 3 failures in the U0 year (note that the number of failures in U0 Freshman Science courses are zeroed when the student enters U1 and the above conditions apply).

Probationary Standing

The student who has not met the criteria of Satisfactory Standing (see above) and who has been allowed to continue in the program is placed on probationary standing in the following conditions when the student has:

• a CGPA of between 1.5鈥�1.99 but has not exceeded the number of allowable failures in nursing and/or non-nursing courses and was previously in Satisfactory Standing;
• a CGPA of between 1.5鈥�1.99 and has not failed more than 3 course in the U0 year of studies;
• a CGPA of between 1.5鈥�1.99 and a TGPA in Fall or Winter greater than or equal to 2.5 and previously in Probationary Standing;
• been granted the exceptional decision to repeat a failed clinical course or who has had a repeated clinical alert status and allowed to continue in the program;
• failed to demonstrate professional behaviour or integrity by not adhering with standards in classroom and clinical studies (including performance at the Steinberg Centre for Simulation and Interactive Learning and in the Ingram School of Nursing Learning Lab), by violating the Quebec Code of Ethics of Nurses, the 成人VR视频 Code of Student Conduct (as outlined in the Handbook on Student Rights and Responsibilities), or the Faculty of Medicine Code of Conduct and has been allowed to continue in the program;
• been readmitted as 鈥淯nsatisfactory Readmitted鈥�; the student remains on probation until the conditions specified in their letter of readmission are met.

Students in probationary standing may continue in their program, but must carry a reduced load (maximum 14 credits per term). They must maintain a TGPA of a minimum 2.5 and obtain a CGPA of 2.0 or above at the end of the next academic year to return to satisfactory standing (see above). Students on probation must also meet any requirements outlined by the Student Standing and Promotions Committee. Any student on probation should see the Nursing Student Affairs Officer, Nursing Student Affairs Office, to discuss their course selection and degree planning.

Unsatisfactory Standing

Students in unsatisfactory standing have not met the minimum standards set by the Ingram School of Nursing. Students in unsatisfactory standing are required to withdraw from the program. These students should consult their nursing adviser for guidance as their status in the University may be deemed satisfactory in programs with less rigorous standing requirements.

Unsatisfactory Standing is granted if the student meets ANY of the following criteria:

• obtains a CGPA of less than 1.5;
• obtains a CGPA of between 1.5鈥�1.99 and the number of allowable failures in nursing and non-nursing courses has been exceeded and the student has not been granted permission to remain in the program;
• has a CGPA above 2.0, the number of allowable failures is exceeded, and the student has not been granted permission to remain in the program;
• was previously in probationary standing (includes Unsatisfactory Readmitted students) or interim Unsatisfactory Standing and the TGPA is below 2.5 and the CGPA is below 2.0 OR the student fails to meet the requirements outlined by the Student Standing and Promotions Committee;
• has failed a clinical course and the student has not been allowed to repeat the course;
• has failed to demonstrate professional behaviour or integrity by not adhering with standards in classroom and clinical studies (including performance at the Steinberg Centre for Simulation and Interactive Learning and in the Ingram School of Nursing Learning Lab), by violating the Quebec Code of Ethics of Nurses, the 成人VR视频 Code of Student Conduct (as outlined in the Handbook on Student Rights and Responsibilities), or the Faculty of Medicine Code of Conduct and has not been allowed to continue in the program;
• is considered incompetent and/or unsuitable for the practice of Nursing;
• has had the student license revoked by the OIIQ.

Interim Standings

Any student who, after only one semester of studies in the program, does not meet satisfactory standing requirements, is granted an interim standing (e.g., interim probation; interim unsatisfactory). Students in interim standing may continue in their program, but must meet with their faculty adviser to evaluate their course load (max. 14 credits).

Clinic Alert

Clinic Alert (CA) status is indicated in the following situations:

• The student demonstrates performance that is in the Below Expectations category (i.e., B-, C, or C+ in a graded clinical course or a clinical evaluation indicating overall performance as 'Below Expections' in a non-graded clinical course).
• The student's pattern of performance during the clinical evaluation period indicates steady decline.
• The student's conduct in the areas of professionalism or moral/ethical behaviour is a concern (but meets minimum standards).
• The student has been out of clinical studies for two or more semesters.
• The student has failed a clinical course and has been allowed to repeat this course.

Clincal Alert (CA) is not meant to be punitive, rather it is to ensure that student learning and patient safety needs are met. The student on CA is allowed to continue into the subsequent clinical course but must meet the criteria outlined in the learning plan that is established between the student and clinical course coordinator. Failure to meet the learning plan criteria results in a grade of F. Only one Clinic Alert is allowed in the program of study. The clinic alert standing is not recorded on the student's Minerva record but is included in the student's Ingram School of Nursing file.

Appeals

Only standing decisions that place the student in Unsatisfactory Standing or require the student to withdraw from the program of study can be appealed. In such cases, the student makes a written appeal to the Student Standing and Promotions Committee, within 14 days of the decision, stating the reason(s) for the appeal.

Further appeals are dealt with by the Associate Dean and Director of the Ingram School of Nursing. Complete details on the appeals process are found in the Ingram School of Nursing Faculty and Student Handbook.

Supplemental Examinations

Nursing students who have a grade of D, J, F, or U in a course and who have a CGPA of 2.0 or higher and are in Satisfactory Standing are eligible to apply for supplemental examination on Minerva (as per 成人VR视频 deadlines). Upon applying for a supplemental examination, permission is granted/denied by the NSAO.

No supplemental examinations are available for students who receive a grade of D, F, J, or U in a course after a deferred examination. Such students must either re-register in the same course the following term or in an approved course substitute. Students who fail an elective course can opt to take a supplemental OR redo the course OR take an alternate course.

Only under special circumstances will a student be permitted to write more than two supplemental examinations throughout their program of study.

The supplemental result may count for 100% of the final grade or may include the same proportion as did the original grade. The format and content of the supplemental exam will not necessarily be the same as for the final examination; therefore, students should consult the instructor. The supplemental grade does not overwrite the original grade. Both the original course mark and the supplemental result are calculated in the CGPA. A failed supplemental is counted in the number of allowable failures.

Students who, at the time of the supplemental exam, feel unable to write the exam must repeat the course. In such cases, consult NSAO to discuss an alternate plan of study.

Deferred Examinations

Students who miss a midterm exam due to documented illness, personal/family crisis, or holy day are accommodated with the following possible solutions as deemed appropriate and feasible by the instructor:

• Rescheduling the evaluation for the student
• Preparing an alternative evaluation for the student such as analytical paper, oral exam, literature review, case study analysis;
• Shifting the weight normally assigned to the evaluation to the weight assigned to the remaining evaluation (this is generally done only if the final examination is cumulative)
• Offering an alternate final examination (this is done when the final exam is not cumulative for the rest of the students鈥攖he student who missed the midterm then writes an 鈥榓lternate final鈥� that is cumulative).

Students who miss a final examination must apply for a deferred exam on Minerva. Relevant documentation (e.g., medical certificate) is required unless the NSAO already has the documentation. The deadlines for submitting documentation are:

• for Fall exams: January 15;
• for Winter exams: May 15;
• for Summer exams: July 15.

Courses taken during summer session (e.g., CHEM 212) do not offer deferred exams. Permission to write a deferral is granted/denied by the NSAO. An 鈥楲鈥� appears on the student record if the deferral is approved. There is no cost associated with writing a deferred examination, and it must be written at the first available opportunity (1st week of May for Fall courses; mid-August for Winter courses). If the student is unable to write the deferred exam as scheduled due to documented illness, family affliction, or extenuating circumstances, the student must contact the NSAO to initiate withdrawal from the deferred exam (WL). If not approved or if the student did not write the exam without seeking withdrawal, a final grade of 鈥淛鈥� is entered and will count as zero in the grade point average (GPA).

Reassessments and Rereads

The Ingram School of Nursing values and promotes transparency and fairness in evaluation. Instructors provide information about evaluation procedures in the first two weeks of the course and are open to clarifying students鈥� questions. In accordance with the Charter of Student Rights and subject to the conditions stated therein, students have the right to consult any written submission for which they have received a mark, to discuss this submission with the examiner, and to obtain an impartial and competent review of any mark. Students are encouraged to discuss their concerns with the course coordinator or examiner and resolve issues in a professional and transparent manner.

Requests for reassessments are made to the Student Standing and Promotions Committee (submit to NSAO) within 10 working days after the graded material has been made available for student viewing. An impartial reviewer recalculates the grade based on the allocation of grades and, rather than re-correct the work and grade it as they would have done themselves, reviewers assess the appropriateness of the original grade based, for example, on the application of the grading key to the student's work. Reassessments are free.

A written request for a reread is submitted to the Student Standing and Promotions Committee (submit to NSAO). A reread of a final exam or paper involves a cost to the student. Grades are either raised, lowered, or remain the same, as the result of a reread. Rereads for courses not administered by the Ingram School of Nursing are subject to the deadlines and regulations of the relevant faculty. Reassessment is done free of charge. Computer-marked examinations can be reassessed but not reread. There is a fee for the reread of a final examination or paper; for more information, see www.mcgill.ca/student-accounts/tuition-fees/non-tuition-charges/other.

Application deadlines for rereads:

• March 31 for courses ending in the Fall term
• July 31 for courses ending in the Winter term
• August 31 for courses ending in May

Requests for reassessments or rereads in more than one course per term are not permitted. Reassessments or rereads are not available for supplemental examinations.

Reassessments and rereads are not available in clinical courses. While every effort is made to be transparent and fair in clinical evaluations, students may disagree with the feedback they receive. In such cases, students should take time to reflect on the feedback. If the student continues to disagree with the evaluation process, then the student can engage a dialogue with the clinical teacher and course coordinator. Owing to the nature of clinical studies, there is no formal appeal process and the clinical teacher and course coordinator鈥檚 grade is the retained grade (in addition, see the Evaluation in Clinical Studies section of the Ingram School of Nursing Faculty and Student Handbook).

Procedures Governing Reassessment/Rereads

Reassessment is done free of charge. Computer-marked examinations can be reassessed but not reread. There is a fee for the reread of a final examination or paper. Visit www.mcgill.ca/student-accounts/tuition-fees/non-tuition-charges/other for details.

Students entering U1 of the B.Sc.(N.) program are expected to complete the program as full-time students over a three-year period (including summer sessions). Exceptionally, such as in the case of failed courses or LOA, students may take a maximum of four years to complete the degree. Students entering in U0 are expected to complete the program as full-time students over a four-year period (including summer sessions) with a maximum time to completion of five years. B.N.I. students are expected to complete their program in two years if studying full-time or in three years if part-time. Completion must be no more than four years after initial program registration.

A leave of absence may be granted to undergraduate students for reasons related to maternity or parenting; personal or family health issues; professional development; required military service. Such a leave must be requested on a term-by-term basis and may be granted for a period of up to 52 weeks. A LOA request should be submitted to NSAO with appropriate documentation. No tuition fees are charged for the duration of the LOA and students maintain an active student ID card and have access to 成人VR视频 mail and libraries.

Note:

• Personal objectives, e.g., travel and financial matters, are not grounds for a leave of absence.
• Normally, a student shall be in Satisfactory Standing when requesting a LOA.
• Since students on a LOA pay no fees, the Student Services are not available; however, an opt-in option is available at the usual rate.
• Students who are eligible for scholarship renewal will not have scholarship monies transferred to their account while on LOA but will maintain eligibility for renewal upon re-registration.
• Terms and conditions vary among loan and bursary providers; student consultation with an adviser in Scholarships and Student Aid is recommended.
• International students seeking a LOA are advised to contact International Student Services (ISS).

Any student who has been granted a LOA for one academic year and who does not resume studies in the following semester must withdraw from the program. Such students may apply for readmission within one year after withdrawal at which time the student may be required to recommence the program.

Students must return their registration certificate to the OIIQ on interruption of studies for any amount of time or upon withdrawal from the nursing program. The OIIQ returns the certificate free of charge upon request if the student returns to study within one year. In the case of an interruption of more than a year, a student must register again with the Order, providing the OIIQ with all the required documents and the registration fee.
