Interruption of Nursing Program
Withdrawal
While enrolled in the College of Nursing you may need to interrupt
your program for various reasons. If you leave the University
during any term you must withdraw officially; otherwise, all
grades for the semester will be recorded as "E." The University of
Kentucky Bulletin covers withdrawal procedures.
Readmission Policy Following
Withdrawal
- University of Kentucky
As a former
University of Kentucky student in good standing you are eligible
for readmission. Readmission requests to the University and the
College of Nursing must meet College application deadlines.
- College of Nursing
Readmission to the
College of Nursing following an interruption of your program is
not automatic. At the time you request readmission to the
University of Kentucky, you should also address a request to the
dean of the College of Nursing. College policy affecting
readmission is as follows:
- If you remain withdrawn from the nursing
program for more than two semesters you will be expected to
meet any new admission and graduation requirements of the
College occurring since your withdrawal date.
- If you withdraw but plan to return before
this two-semester time lapse you may be readmitted:
- provided you are in good standing.
- provided you have reapplied prior to
appropriate application deadline dates.
- provided you have requested readmission,
by letter, to the dean and provided the dean has approved
the readmission.
- provided the College can accommodate your
current class needs.
Temporary Leave
You should submit requests for leave of absence, for pregnancy or
other reasons, in writing to the Office of Student Services. Your
request will be forwarded to the chairperson of the Undergraduate
Student Admission and Progression Committee in the College of
Nursing. Leave of absence requests will be reviewed on an
individual basis but will require that you:
- Meet the current grade point average
admission criteria, (i.e, a 2.50 on all college work attempted),
- Be considered in good standing with the
University, (i.e., 2.00 UK grade point average), and
- Be considered in good standing with the
College of Nursing, (i.e., 2.00 Nursing grade point average).
