• 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 clinical courses (note that clinical courses are indicated by the middle course number of 鈥�3鈥�, e.g., NUR1 234, NUR1 233 and NUR1 530);
• no failure in NUR1 220 Therapeutic Relationships;
• a TGPA of 鈮� 2.0;

Any U0 student who meets ALL of the following criteria is in Satisfactory Standing:

• A CGPA of 2.0 or above
• A TGPA of 2.0 or above
• No more than 2 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:

• more than two failures in the non-nursing (non-NUR1) courses of the program but has a CGPA 鈮� 2;
• more than 4 credits of failures in nursing (NUR1) courses and has a CGPA 鈮� 2;
• a CGPA of between 1.5 - 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 - 1.99 and has exceeded the number of allowable failures in nursing and non-nursing courses but who has been granted permission to remain in the program;
• 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 Simulation Centre and in the Ingram School of Nursing Learning Lab), by violating:
  • the Quebec Code of Ethics of Nurses;
  • the 香蕉视频 Code of Student Conduct (as outlined in the Handbook of 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 their faculty adviser to discuss their course selection and degree planning.

Clinic Alert

A student who meets any of the following criteria is placed on Clinic Alert:

• The student who obtains a grade in the Below Expectations category (i.e., B-, C, or C+) in a graded clinical course (i.e., NUR1 233, NUR1 234, NUR1 235, NUR1 331, NUR1 332, NUR1 431, NUR1 432) or in NUR1 220 Therapeutic Relationships.
• 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 semester.
• The student has failed a clinical course and has been allowed to repeat this course.

The student 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.

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 when the student:

• obtains a CGPA of < 1.5;
• obtains a CGPA of between 1.5 - 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;
• 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 Simulation Centre and in the Ingram School of Nursing Learning Lab), by violating:
  • the Quebec Code of Ethics of Nurses;
  • the 香蕉视频 Code of Student Conduct (as outlined in the Handbook of 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.

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 and reduce it as appropriate.

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

Students who have a grade of D, J, F, or U in a course and who have a CGPA of 鈮� 2.0 and are in Satisfactory Standing are eligible to apply for supplemental examination on Minerva (as per McGill deadlines).

Only under very special circumstances will a student be permitted to write more than two supplemental examinations throughout the program.

Deferred Examinations

An examination may be deferred for reasons of illness or family crisis only by permission of the Program Director. This verification (generally a medical certificate or appropriate document) must be supplied as per McGill deadlines posted at www.mcgill.ca/students/exams/supdefer.

Reassessments and Rereads

Requests for reassessments are made to the Student Standing and Promotions Committee 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 (see deadlines below). A reread 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.

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.

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.
