164 The University of Akron 2005-2006 A student who wishes to be considered for admission to the College of Nursing must meet the following requirements: • Complete all University College requirements and College of Nursing prerequisites with a minimum grade of “C” or higher. • Have a minimum prerequisite course cumulative 2.75 grade-point average. • Have a minimum cumulative 2.75 grade-point average in the required prerequisite biological sciences. • All grades of transfer work will be combined with those earned at The University of Akron in the computation of a grade-point average for admission to the College of Nursing. Felony And Misdemeanor Record Check All students entering the College of Nursing are required to submit their fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCII). This record check may reveal both students’ sealed and unsealed convictions. Students should inform the College of Nursing immediately of any convictions, guilty pleas, or findings of guilt that occur after enrollment in the College of Nursing. Felony and misdemeanor records may result in an inability to progress in the nursing program and subsequent withdrawal from the nursing program. Felony Preclusion Rule For Licensure R.C. 4723.09 In effect for all students entering a pre-licensure nursing program after June 1, 2003. During the senior year of the nursing program, as part of the application process to take the state licensing examination (NCLEX-RN), the Ohio Board of Nursing requires students to submit their fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCII). If the fingerprint check reveals an egregious felony, the Board of Nursing will deny the applicant entrance to the NCLEX-RN examination. According to the Ohio Board of Nursing, egregious felonies include aggravated murder, murder, voluntary manslaughter, felonious assault, kidnapping, rape, sexual battery, gross sexual imposition, aggravated arson, aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary. Other felonies will be referred to the Compliance Unit for investigation and may result in either a denial of entrance to the examination or licensure with a permanent and public notation of Board action (i.e. punishment). For information concerning the Ohio Board of Nursing licensure requirements, see Web site www.state.oh.us/nur. Note: Students who wish to be licensed in other states should be aware that similar background check requirements may apply. Consult the applicable state Board of Nursing for further information. Admission Procedures All applicants will be considered at once and will be selected at the end of each spring semester to start the following fall. All student applicants will be ranked in order from the highest grade-point average (GPA) down until the class is filled. The number admitted to each sophomore class will vary depending on the number of available slots. Having a GPA of 2.75 will not guarantee admission to the College. Acceptance of the student into the college is the responsibility of the dean in consultation with the dean of the University College and the Admissions Committee of the College of Nursing. Admission to the program in nursing does not guarantee the student’s placement in the nursing courses at the time the student may wish to pursue them. The college reserves the right to approve admission to those individuals whose abilities, attitudes, and character promise satisfactory achievement of the college objectives. Upon admission to the College, all students must adhere to the following policies and the deadline of July 31: • Pay the Liability Insurance Fee included in the Fall tuition invoice. • If a licensed nurse, provide a copy of a valid Ohio license to Records Specialist. • Complete required immunizations and physical examination. • Complete CPR certification prior to starting nursing courses. Maintain current CPR certification throughout the program. Failure to maintain current CPR certification will result in removal from clinical courses. • Complete requirements for fingerprinting by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCII). • Submit FBA and BCII reports. • Purchase uniforms according to directions supplied upon admission. Written evidence of completion of these requirements must be submitted to the College of Nursing Records Specialist prior to July 31. Notification of Admission Following completion of Spring semester, all applicants will be notified of admission by mid-June. Notification of admission status will be either full admission, provisional admission, placement on a waiting list, or denial due to the filing of available spaces. A limited number of students who do not receive full admission will be placed on a waiting list. The waiting list exists through the first week of Fall classes. Reapplication Process Applications or inter-college transfers to the College of Nursing are only effective for the current academic year. A student not admitted from the wait list or denied admission may reapply. Student reapplying are again ranked in the applicant group for admission consideration. Transfer of Nursing Courses for Advanced Placement Policies • Students wishing to transfer nursing courses from other baccalaureate nursing programs into the College of Nursing at The University of Akron must meet all university transfer requirements and College of Nursing admission criteria. • Transfer applicants must be in good academic standing and eligible to return in the next term to their previous baccalaureate nursing program. • Students must have completed all prerequisite courses for the curriculum level into which they seek placement or received university transfer credit for prerequisites. • Transfer credit for baccalaureate nursing courses taken in another NLNAC or CCNE accredited B.S.N. program may be granted after review and approval of supporting materials by the College of Nursing faculty. • Courses accepted for transfer will determine the student’s placement in the appropriate level of the College of Nursing curriculum. • Nursing courses for the Associate Degree or Diploma program will not be considered for transfer credit into the basic B.S.N. program. • Transfer credit will not be granted for nursing course work completed more than two years prior to application. • Transfer students will be admitted to the College of Nursing on a space-available basis.
