Academic Policies: All policies and procedures contained in the most recent edition of the Student Catalog apply to this course and are hereby incorporated by reference into this syllabus. Please refer to the Galen College of Nursing website and your campus at: http://www.galencollege.edu/campuses/ for the most recent edition of the Student Catalog. Students with Disabilities: Any student who wishes to request an accommodation may do so by contacting the campus Section 504/Title IX Coordinator. Information regarding accommodations for students with disabilities can be found in the Student Catalog, which is made available on the Galen College of Nursing website. On-ground Course Attendance Policy: It is the student's responsibility to immediately notify the appropriate faculty if there is an unavoidable problem resulting in an absence. Rounding of Grades: There is no rounding of grades. When there is a decimal attached to an earned grade, the final grade will be recorded as the whole number. For example, a student who earns a 73.8% will earn a final grade of 73%. Make-up Exam/Quiz Policy: Students are expected to take all exams and quizzes as scheduled. A student who will be late for or misses an exam or quiz is expected to notify faculty in advance. The decision to offer a make-up exam or quiz will be at the discretion of the course faculty member in collaboration with the program director. The number of makeup exams or quizzes per term may be limited. The make-up exam or quiz may be different from the originally administered version and standardized reporting for feedback regarding the exam may be unavailable. The program director must approve any change in the scheduling of the last exam administered in the course. Dosage Calculation Tests: Accurate computation of medication dosages and solutions is an essential competency for safe nursing practice. In order to establish the achievement of this competency, students will be required to obtain a passing score of 90% or higher on a medication calculation test. Students will have three attempts to obtain a score of 90% or higher. Remediation will be required after each unsuccessful attempt on the medication calculation test. If a student does not earn a passing grade of 90% or higher by the third attempt, the student will earn a grade of “F” for this course. Competency Performance Examination (CPE): The purpose of the Clinical Performance Examination is to assess a student’s performance of required nursing practice competencies. In order to establish the achievement of this competency, students will be required to successfully pass CPEs within 3 attempts. If a student does not pass the CPE by the third attempt, the student will earn a grade of “F” for this course. Written Assignments: Students will be required to submit written assignments. Successful completion of these assignments will be based on earning a minimum score of 74% as outlined in the grading rubrics included in the syllabus. Students who do not pass a written assignment will have one opportunity to revise the assignment for resubmission but will receive a grade no higher than 74%. Students who fail to complete this assignment or who do not earn a 74% after the allowed repeated attempt will not meet the requirements for this course and will earn a grade of “F” for this course. Late assignments without faculty consultation and consent may result in a penalty of (5) points per college day past due on any written assignment. Failure to submit a written assignment and/or consistent lateness can result in a grade of “0” or “F.”
