College of Nursing. Students who score 72 and above will receive the grade made on the
challenge examination at the end of the semester.
Students who score less than 72 on the challenge examination may complete the course in the
semester in which they are enrolled for the challenge exam or withdraw and re-enroll in the
course during a later semester. Students who choose not to continue in the course will need to
withdraw from the course prior to the last day to drop without penalty (see academic calendar
).

assigned and is subject to the College of Nursing Academic Policies.

grade. The course must be completed in the same semester in which the challenge examination
was taken. Students electing to continue in the course will receive the grade earned and not the
challenge exam grade.
