Graduation Eligibility

• You are responsible for being familiar with requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing and for conferring with advisors when selecting your courses. The University will award your degree, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, upon your successful completion of the College and University requirements. You will find curriculum requirements for R.N. and Four- Year students, and descriptions of nursing courses, in the University of Kentucky Bulletin.
   
• To be eligible for a degree, you must file an application through our Office of Student Services within 30 days after the beginning of the semester (or 15 days in the summer session) in which you expect to complete your degree requirements. Check the University Calendar for the specific dates and ask for application cards from our Office of Student Services.
   
• To be eligible for graduation, you must meet University and College requirements for graduation. You must achieve a grade point average of 2.0 in nursing and a 2.0 overall grade point average. Application for your degree must be filed in the Office of Student Services within two weeks after the beginning of the semester or summer session in which your requirements will be completed. These dates are published in the UK Bulletin and the Schedule of Classes. Library fines and other financial obligations must be paid prior to commencement ceremonies.
   
•  The Kentucky Board of Nursing requires that you report all misdemeanor and/or felony convictions on your licensure application. Some convictions are serious enough that they may prevent your being licensed as a registered nurse (see: Questions about Applications for Licensure with Criminal Convictions). If you have questions about this seek assistance from your academic advisor and/or the assistant dean.
