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    • If you remain withdrawn from the nursing program for more than two semesters you will be expected to meet any new admission and graduation requirements of the College occurring since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).
