Bachelor of Nursing (Re-entry)

Program of study

To qualify for Bachelor of Nursing (Re-entry), a student must complete 108 units with a grade of Pass or NGP or better in each topic.

Except with permission of the College this pathway must be completed within eight consecutive semesters.

The award of a grade of Fail (F) in the same topic on more than one occasion may constitute prima facie evidence of unsatisfactory progress for the purpose of the University's Policy on Student Progress.

A student who fails the professional experience placement component of any topic will receive a Fail grade for that topic. A student may at any time be removed from a professional experience placement for unprofessional behaviour and/or unsafe practice.
