Basic block level elements

This is a normal paragraph (p element). To add some length to it, let us mention that this page was primarily written for testing the effect of user style sheets. You can use it for various other purposes as well, like just checking how your browser displays various HTML elements by default. It can also be useful when testing conversions from HTML format to other formats, since some elements can go wrong then. 

This is another paragraph. I think it needs to be added that the set of elements tested is not exhaustive in any sense. I have selected those elements for which it can make sense to write user style sheet rules, in my opionion.

This is a block quotation containing a single paragraph. Well, not quite, since this is not really quoted text, but I hope you understand the point. After all, this page does not use HTML markup very normally anyway.

The following contains address information about the author, in an address element.

Lists

This is a paragraph before an unnumbered list (ul). Note that the spacing between a paragraph and a list before or after that is hard to tune in a user style sheet. You can't guess which paragraphs are logically related to a list, e.g. as a "list header".

• One.
• Two.
• Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer. Note that for short items lists look better if they are compactly presented, whereas for long items, it would be better to have more vertical spacing between items.
• Four. This is the last item in this list. Let us terminate the list now without making any more fuss about it.

The following is a menu list:

One.

Two.

Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer so that it will probably wrap to the next line in rendering.

The following is a dir list:

• One.
• Two.
• Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer so that it will probably wrap to the next line in rendering.

This is a paragraph before a numbered list (ol). Note that the spacing between a paragraph and a list before or after that is hard to tune in a user style sheet. You can't guess which paragraphs are logically related to a list, e.g. as a "list header".

1. One.
2. Two.
3. Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer. Note that if items are short, lists look better if they are compactly presented, whereas for long items, it would be better to have more vertical spacing between items.
4. Four. This is the last item in this list. Let us terminate the list now without making any more fuss about it.

This is a paragraph before a definition list (dl). In principle, such a list should consist of terms and associated definitions. But many authors use dl elements for fancy "layout" things. Usually the effect is not too bad, if you design user style sheet rules for dlwhich are suitable for real definition lists.

term

a word or other expression taken into specific use in a well-defined meaning, which is often defined rather rigorously, even formally, and may differ quite a lot from an everyday meaning

Text-level markup

• CSS (an abbreviation; abbr markup used)
• radar (an acronym; acronym markup used)
• bolded (b markup used - just bolding with unspecified semantics)
• big thing (big markup used)
• large size (font size=6 markup used)
• Courier font (font face=Courier markup used)
• red text (font color=red markup used)
• Origin of Species (a book title; cite markup used)
• a[i] = b[i] + c[i); (computer code; code markup used)
• here we have some deleted text (del markup used)
• an octet is an entity consisting of eight bits (dfn markup used for the term being defined)
• this is very simple (em markup used for emphasizing a word)
• Homo sapiens (should appear in italics; i markup used)
• here we have some inserted text (ins markup used)
• type yes when prompted for an answer (kbd markup used for text indicating keyboard input)
• Hello! (q markup used for quotation)
• He said: She said Hello! (a quotation inside a quotation)
• you may get the message Core dumped at times (samp markup used for sample output)
• this is not that important (small markup used)
• overstruck (strike markup used; note: s is a nonstandard synonym for strike)
• this is highlighted text (strong markup used)
• In order to test how subscripts and superscripts (sub and sup markup) work inside running text, we need some dummy text around constructs like x₁ and H₂O (where subscripts occur). So here is some fill so that you will (hopefully) see whether and how badly the subscripts and superscripts mess up vertical spacing between lines. Now superscripts: M^lle, 1^st, and then some mathematical notations: e^x, sin² x, and some nested superscripts (exponents) too: e^x2 and f(x)^g(x)a+b+c (where 2 and a+b+c should appear as exponents of exponents).
• text in monospace font (tt markup used)
• underlined text (u markup used)
• the command cat filename displays the file specified by the filename (var markup used to indicate a word as a variable).

Some of the elements tested above are typically displayed in a monospace font, often using the same presentation for all of them. This tests whether that is the case on your browser:

• This is sample text inside code markup
• This is sample text inside kbd markup
• This is sample text inside samp markup
• This is sample text inside tt markup

Links

• main page
• Unicode Standard, chapter 6

This is a text paragraph that contains some inline links. Generally, inline links (as opposite to e.g. links lists) are problematic from the usability perspective, but they may have use as “incidental”, less relevant links. See the document Links Want To Be Links.

Tables

The following table has a caption. The first row and the first column contain table header cells (th elements) only; other cells are data cells (td elements), with align="right" attributes:

Character test

The following table has some sample characters with annotations. If the browser’s default font does not contain all of them, they may get displayed using backup fonts. This may cause stylistic differences, but it should not prevent the characters from being displayed at all.

Entrance and Placement Exams

Passing of certain placement exams is required to enroll in certain courses or matriculate in the program as indicated below.

Pre-Licensure Nursing Entrance Exam (ACCUPLACER® Diagnostic Test)

To be admitted to the program learners must achieve the required scores in each academic area of the entrance exam. The entrance exam determines learners’ readiness for success in the program by assessing knowledge in three (3) academic areas: Arithmetic, Reading Comprehension, and Sentence Skills. A score of 260 in each of the three (3) areas is required for admission with full matriculation. Learners have three (3) attempts to achieve the required score. Conditional admission is granted to learners who score at least 240 but less than 260 as follows:

• Learners who score below 240 in any of the three areas will not be admitted.
• Learners who score between 240-259 in Arithmetic will be admitted on a non-matriculated basis but will be required to take and successfully complete MAT 90 in the first semester of enrollment.
• Learners who score between 240-249 in Reading will be admitted on a non-matriculated basis but will be required to take and successfully complete ENG 90 in the first semester of enrollment.
• Learners who score between 250-259 in Reading will be admitted with conditional matriculation but will be required to take and successfully complete Reading Lab in the first semester of enrollment.
• Learners who score between 240-259 in Writing will be admitted with conditional matriculation but will be required to take and successfully complete Writing Lab in the first semester of enrollment.

The entrance exam fee is $20 for each attempt. Scores are valid for one (1) year.

Advanced Placement Candidates Only

Advanced placement candidates who are requesting academic credit for courses in BSN 246 and/or BSN 266 are required to pass the corresponding HESI exams as described in the table below:

Advanced placement servicemembers who do not qualify for the automatic BMTC block credit transfer are required to pass the HESI exam as described in the table below:

Applicants may retake the exam one (1) time after completion of mandatory remediation. The fee to retake an exam is $37. On the second attempt, the applicant will take a different version of the exam. Free personalized remediation materials are available at www.evolve.elsevier.com after the first exam attempt.

If the score on the second attempt is below the minimum score requirement, the applicant is allowed to retest after one (1) year from the date of the first attempt upon completing a new program application and paying a new application fee. Applicants who do not pass the exams may choose to enroll into the corresponding Level.

Remote Program Option
Learners who do not reside in one of the College’s Supervised On-Ground Field Experience (SOFE) regions may choose the remote program option. Learners in the remote program option are required to travel to an assigned SOFE region every semester that the learner is enrolled in a nursing course with a SOFE component. Travel may be scheduled at any time during the semester and could last up to three (3) consecutive weeks. Learners may enroll only in one (1) pre-licensure nursing course with experiential learning components during any academic semester. There are seven (7) pre-licensure nursing courses with experiential learning components within the BSN Program. Based on the specific course enrollment, learners are required to spend a minimum of five (5) days to a maximum of twenty-one (21) days at the assigned SOFE region. Learners are responsible for providing their own transportation to and within and lodging at the assigned SOFE region. Learners may use the assistance of the College’s contracted third-party travel vendor. Detailed information regarding the service will be provided during the semester in which travel is scheduled. Learners may not include travel costs on the learner account ledgers nor have these costs financed through the College. Specific SOFE region assignments are not guaranteed, and learners may be assigned anywhere within the fifty (50) states in the U.S.

Note: In some instances, depending on the overall course enrollment, learners may be required to travel to a different SOFE region for timely completion of the required on-ground course components.

Tuition and Fees
