THIRD-PARTY TESTING

Assessment and remediation are critical components of nursing education. Students in the nursing program may be required to take third-party, standardized exams in an electronic format throughout the curriculum. These standardized tests are valid and reliable predictors of success on the NCLEX examination and provide valuable feedback concerning student strengths and weaknesses. Student learning outcome data identifies content areas that require remediation, allowing faculty to personalize student support and intervention. Courses that utilize third-party exams will incorporate the points earned on the test as a percentage of the final grade earned for the course as specified in the course syllabus. POLICIES University policies, such as attendance philosophy, notification of absences, extenuating circumstances, accommodation requests, academic dishonesty, late policy, grading and grading symbols, and student conduct are included in the University catalog. Students should reference the catalog for the complete listing of policies. _Note: In some cases, program and/or course specific information may be appended to the syllabus as an addendum. In these instances, students must consider the syllabus to be inclusive of any appended information, and as such, students must adhere to all course requirements as described in the document in its entirety._
