Dear learners,

Although we make every effort to provide current, complete, and accurate information in the College Catalog, occasionally we need to modify the College Catalog after publication. 

Follow the links for the addenda or individual sections to see details in the published Catalog. Please make a note of these changes, which take effect immediately.


Fall Semester 2025

Addendum 1: Grievance Policy – Academic Remedies

Rationale – To better align with current practice and practical realities, learners who are in jeopardy of failing a course are encouraged, rather than required, to meet with LSS strategist for advising. 

In-Catalog Modification:

Grievance Policy

Academic Remedies 
When a learner is in jeopardy of failing a course, the Academic Success Plan will be initiated. Learners may refer to the Academic Success Plan section of this Catalog. At the discretion of faculty and the designated academic manager, learners may be counseled and placed on academic probation when other performance criteria are not met, even when the learner is meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). For more information, learners may refer to the SAP section of this Catalog. Learners must may participate in advising with the assigned Learner Support Services (LSS) strategist and but must meet predetermined terms of probation for the duration of the probationary period. Once the stated terms are met, the probation may be lifted. If the terms are not met, the learner may fail the course and/or be withdrawn from the College. 


Addendum 2: Title IX and Faculty Role Philosophy

Rationale – The text below is modified to align with executive orders issued in 2025.

In-Catalog Modification:

Title IX

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protects people from sex discrimination in educational programs and activities, including sexual harassment at institutions that receive federal financial assistance. An environment free from discrimination on the basis of sex and free from sexual misconduct is essential to learning. Learners and collaborators form a community of unique individuals that respects and embraces diversity diverse perspectives and teaches learners to uphold and support people’s differences. A safe learning environment also is essential to learning. Complaints and allegations of sexual misconduct are taken very seriously. Learners impacted by sexual misconduct may use provided resources for help and support 

Faculty Role Philosophy

While the learning is mainly asynchronous, faculty work to create an environment for learning that values contribution, feedback, clarity of expectations, and consistency in applying the standards to individuals. Faculty support learner efforts to transform their individual thinking and motivation to be a force for change within society. Faculty role responsibilities include: 

  • Assisting learners in becoming more aware of their learning process and their ability to discern what, why and how they are learning; including the various means by which it relates to prior and future knowledge.  
  • Working with learners to understand what resources are available to assist their learning process.  
  • Having a deeper understanding of how education can alter an individual’s ability to motivate change in society.  
  • Allowing learners to practice and improve their skills, modes of inquiry, and reasoning through:
    • Application of acquired knowledge and skills that form the core of the course and the area of study it represents.  
    • Opportunities to think critically, use analysis, deduction, inference, and other analytical and metacognitive strategies to complete course requirements.  
    • Communicating appropriately to the course content to discuss issues and matters related to the concepts.  
    • Ensuring viewpoints and perspectives are valued and included in the conversations in reinforcing diversity diverse experiences and respect for individual humanity. 

Addendum 3: MSNEd Program Curriculum Plan

Rationale – The number of nursing core courses is adjusted to reflect the correct total.

In-Catalog Modification:

MSN Ed Program

The MSNEd Program consists of fifteen (15) fourteen (14) graduate-division nursing core courses delivered over five (5) academic semesters and eighty (80) academic weeks, for a total of forty (40) semester credits. There are five hundred forty (540) didactic and one hundred eighty (180) field experience contact hours total. The MSNEd Program does not have any experiential learning contact hours assigned. However, the Program requires the completion of an educator-based learning project/practicum. For learner residency and course delivery modalities definitions, see the Learner Residency and Course Delivery Modalities section of this Catalog. The Curriculum Plan table presented below represents a sample curriculum plan for learners.

Addendum 5: Foundational Courses, Nursing Core Courses with HESI Requirement

Rationale – With recent changes to the weighting of HESI exams, learners who successfully complete a course but do not receive a passing grade for the corresponding HESI exam are required to complete additional assignments in areas where further preparation is indicated. NURS 95 has been developed to review skills and concepts in preparation for future HESI exams and the licensing exam. 

In-Catalog Modification:

Foundational Courses

NURS 95: HESI Support

Delivery Modality: Distance (Online Didactic Instruction); Instructor-Guided

Semester Credits: 0

Contact Hours: 45

Outside Preparation: None

Typically Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer (Subject to Enrollment)

Prerequisites: None

Corequisites: None

Requisites: None

Description: This support course is designed for learners who have successfully completed the didactic and experiential learning portion of a nursing course but did not achieve a passing score on the corresponding HESI exam. The course provides targeted review and skill-building in the specific content areas where the learner demonstrated deficiencies, as identified through their HESI performance report.

With a focus on reinforcing NCLEX-relevant knowledge, learners will engage in guided practice, content review, test-taking strategies, and formative assessments aligned to the NCLEX blueprint. Faculty-led coaching and individualized remediation plans support learners in closing knowledge gaps and building the clinical judgment and critical thinking skills essential for success on future HESI exams and the NCLEX. NOTE: This course is not a required part of any academic program; is not college-level; is not Title IV eligible; is not transferrable to another institution; is not part of any institutional or programmatic accreditation grant; and is offered as a means of preparation for NCLEX, with pass/fail grading.

Nursing Core Courses with HESI Requirement

A learner with a score below 800 on both attempts may progress in their program if they receive a passing final course grade but must complete HESI remediation before progressing to the next course. A learner with a score below 800 on both attempts also must complete HESI coaching NURS 95 during the following semester.

Learners with their highest score between 800-849 on either attempt must complete remediation before progressing to the next course and are encouraged required to complete HESI coaching in the subsequent semester.

Learners who do not complete required remediation by the end of the semester will receive a grade of IR.


Summer Semester 2025

Addendum 1: Nursing Core Courses with HESI Requirement and Grading System and Grading Scale (effective Summer Semester 2025)

To accommodate changes to nursing course syllabi that reallocate assignments counted toward final course grades, including HESIs, the following text is modified:

In-Catalog modification:
Nursing Core Courses with HESI Requirement

A learner with a score below 800 on both attempts will be required to repeat the course may progress in their program if they receive a passing final course grade but must complete HESI remediation before progressing to the next course. A learner with a score below 800 on both attempts also must complete HESI coaching during the following semester.

Learners with their highest score between 800-849 on either attempt must complete remediation before progressing to the next course and are encouraged to complete HESI coaching in the subsequent semester.

Learners who do not complete required remediation by the end of the semester will receive a grade of IR.

Grading System and Grading Scale

IR – Incomplete, Remediation – is only applicable for rescheduling of Experiential Learning makeups* and or incomplete remediation requirements in for nursing courses with HESI exams. An IR is automatically recorded when the HESI exam score is between 800 and 849. A learner who earns a passing grade in the course and who scores less than 850 on the HESI exam is required to complete HESI remediation before the end of the semester. If the remediation is not completed before the end of the semester, an IR grade will be assigned. (see the Nursing Core Courses with HESI Requirement section of this Catalog). The make-up/remedial work will not change the originally earned grade. The “IR” status cannot extend beyond the add/drop period of the following academic semester. When all required work is completed in a satisfactory manner and within the allowed timeframe, the instructor will request that the “IR” status change to the letter grade earned. Failure to complete the required work within the allowed timeframe will result in course failure, the “IR” status will be changed to an “F” grade, and the learner will be required to pay for and repeat the course.
