Graduate Academic Regulations - All ProgramsNursing students are expected to be familiar with the policies and procedures specific to their level of study and to review these each semester for updates and changes. These can be found in the UMKC General Catalog and in the School of Nursing's Policies and Procedures manual, which can be found at the "Policies" link on the School's home page (http://www.umkc.edu/nursing).
Academic DishonestyStudents in the School of Nursing abide by the University of Missouri Student Conduct Code (listed in the appendices of this catalog).
Immunization/Confidentiality/AIDS PolicyPrior to enrollment in coursework, all students must submit a copy of their nursing license. RN state licensure(s) must not have any sanctions or revocations upon admission or during program tenure. Any infractions will result in immediate dismissal from the program. In addition, all students must sign the "Personal Responsibility Statement" which attests to the student's understanding of the general catalog, program guides, policies and maintaining confidentiality during clinical rotations. It also verifies their understanding and knowledge of the UMKC AIDS policy and Center for Disease Control Universal Precautions for the prevention or the transmission of AIDS and other infectious diseases in client care.Prior to enrollment in a clinical course, students must submit:
Failure to submit this information will result in the student's inability to enroll in clinical courses (or removal from a clinical course), which could jeopardize completion of the student's program of study as planned. Graduate students must also be able to meet minimum expectations for performance in clinical coursework and professional nursing.
Leave of AbsenceUnder specific circumstances, students may be granted a leave of absence for one semester. A request for a leave of absence should be submitted to the appropriate Nursing Program Committee no later than two weeks prior to the beginning of the semester for which the leave is requested. In the event of unexpected emergencies, students may petition the appropriate Nursing Program Committee for a leave of absence within the semester in which the coursework is to be dropped. Petition forms can be obtained from the Nursing Student Services Office.Students who have been granted a leave of absence must submit a Request to Re-Enroll Form. Enrollment in clinical courses may be affected and may extend the student's matriculation. If the leave occurs during the clinical sequence, students are responsible to re-enter clinical coursework at the same level of competency as their peers who were not on leave. Students who do not maintain continuous enrollment (exclusive of summer sessions) will be required to complete an application for re-admission to the University and the School of Nursing and are liable for any intervening curriculum changes. This leave of absence provision does not apply to graduate students who have completed all courses on their planned program of study. These students must follow the General Graduate Academic Regulations for "Continuous Graduate Enrollment Requirement" and "Continuous Graduate Enrollment (5899).
