Academic standing and dismissal policy for OSN graduate program

According to the Nevada System of Higher Education ("NSHE") Code, Title 2, Chapter 11, "a student may be dismissed from a program for academic reasons which may include but are not limited to inadequate grades or failure to remain in academic good standing as defined by the program, a lack of professionalism or unethical conduct, or failure to comply with other specific program requirements. Failure to comport with professional and/or ethical standards applicable to the particular discipline or program may be grounds for dismissal from a program." The NSHE Code authorizes programs to establish their own written dismissal policies, procedures and sanctions for program dismissals. The Orvis School of Nursing ("OSN") herein sets forth the Dismissal Policy for graduate students in OSN Graduate Program ("OSN Graduate Program").
