Nursing Student Handbook 2025-2026

Ron and Kathy Assaf College of Nursing (ACON) 2025–2026 122 Clinical lab activities are completed during class time which reinforces course content. Graduate students who miss class will miss points that will result in a reduction in grade(s). Should absence from class occur, resulting actions will be detailed in the syllabus. All Nurse Anesthesiology core courses have mandatory attendance. In accordance with the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs (COA) standards, C.R.N.A. students are not permitted to engage in outside employment during the program. This policy ensures that students can fully commit to their rigorous academic and clinical training, which is essential for their success and the safety of their patients. Online Courses Online courses require students to participate in the online environment as designated by the course syllabus. Failure to participate in course discussions and activities, as directed by the course for each course week, may result in deducted points and may affect the overall course grade. The online class environment relies on the engagement of each member for full exchange of course material. Student Responsibility for Missed Assignments If a course requirement is late, the student must refer to the syllabus and meet with faculty member(s) as soon as possible. Some assignments can not be made up. Faculty Member Responsibility for Missed Assignments Faculty members are under no obligation to provide makeup quizzes/tests/exams for students who have unexcused absences from classes in which those quizzes/tests/exams are administered. Although the course instructor should exercise a fair and consistent standard for resolving questions of missed assignments, the type, extent, manner, and time frame of any makeup assignments shall be at the discretion of the instructor/program director. Clinical/Laboratory/Practicum Absence Attendance at undergraduate clinical or lab is mandatory. An excused absence requires the student to notify the clinical instructor and course faculty member(s) a minimum of 48 hours prior and submit documentation as soon as reasonably possible. An excused absence, with documentation, may include medical, legal, NSU cocurricular events, bereavement, or other emergency situations. In medical or other emergency circumstances, the student will provide notification and documentation as soon as reasonably possible. An unexcused absence or failure to provide appropriate notification and supporting documentation may result in course failure, academic and/or behavioral warning/probation/dismissal, and a referral to the CSP. The program director, with the dean of Academic Programs, is the final authority in determining if an absence is excused and if sufficient documentation has been provided. Any clinical/ lab hours missed must be completed prior to the end of the term to pass the course. All students who are absent from the clinical/lab experience may be responsible for clinical instructor/professor payment. The ACON will assign the makeup day(s). Students should refer to the course syllabus for additional information on clinical/laboratory/practicum absences.
