Progression in the Nursing Program	Students in the BSN program will not be permitted to continue in the nursing program nor to enroll for additional nursing courses if they: Receive a grade of D or F in more than one required nursing course, or Receive any combination of grades of D or F on two attempts of the same course, or Do not obtain a passing score on the HESI Comprehensive Exam (this is not a requirement for the RN to BSN program) The University grade replacement policy does not apply to nursing courses. The School of Nursing policy takes precedence over the UT Arlington policy. Students are responsible for confirming whether they are eligible to continue in the School of Nursing. An ineligible student who nevertheless registers in the School shall be dropped, and the student shall not receive special considerations on a plea of lack of knowledge of scholastic status.
Graduation	All requirements for graduation eligibility must be met in order to walk the stage for graduation.
