The Personal Assessment for Student Success (PASS) Plan has been designed and implemented to help ensure student program success.
A student’s normal course of study may be interrupted for a variety of reasons, resulting in a graduation delay or program dismissal. Such delays place a student at risk for ongoing issues in the program. The PASS plan process is designed to identify student challenges and develop an individualized plan to assist the student achieve academic and certification success.
A student who is dismissed from the program and is accepted for re-entry, or who had to defer their progression due to voluntary reasons and is unable to follow the standard progression pattern for their course of study, may be required to complete a PASS plan. The PASS plans will be coordinated through the Graduate Nursing Program Director, FNP Program Coordinator and or the DNP Clinical Coordinator.
Students who are placed on a special schedule or are re-entering the program should schedule a meeting with the Graduate Nursing Program Director. This meeting must be scheduled prior to the start of the revised class schedule. An individualized PASS plan will be developed, following a discussion about challenges and resources with the student. Components of the plan may include but are not limited to: information on study habits, tutor resources, accommodations, lab practice requirements, an independent study course, theory remediation and practicum remediation. Completion of PASS Plan components is the responsibility of the student. Compliance with the plan will be monitored by the Graduate Nursing Program Director or designee. PASS Plans will be in effect for a minimum of one calendar year. Failure to comply with the PASS Plan may result in activation of pertinent disciplinary academic policies and procedures under the direction of the Graduate Nursing Program Director.
