In addition to the SATT, the Personal Assessment for Student Success (PASS) plan has been designed and implemented to ensure student success. The purpose of the PASS plan is to assist undergraduate students with program and licensure 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, as well as increased risk for failure on their first licensure attempt. The PASS plan process is designed to identify student challenges and develop an individualized plan to assist the student achieve academic and licensure success.

 A student who is unable to follow the standard progression pattern for their course of study will be required to complete a PASS plan as a component of his or her special schedule status. The PASS plans will be coordinated through the NCLEX RN Coordinator in collaboration with the appropriate Program Director and Academic Advisor.

Procedure:

  1. Students who are placed on a special schedule because they could not follow the normal curricular plan will be advised to schedule a meeting with the NCLEX RN coordinator and Academic Advisor. This meeting should be scheduled prior to the start of the revised class schedule whenever possible.
  2. Following a discussion with the student, an individualized PASS plan will be developed. Components of the plan may include but are not limited to: information on study skills, test-taking strategies, tutor resources, accommodations, lab practice requirements, and course content review.
  3. Completion of PASS Plan components is the responsibility of the student. Compliance with the plan will be monitored by the NCLEX RN coordinator or designee.
  4. PASS plans will be in effect for a minimum of one calendar year for traditional students and to the point of graduation for 15-month students.

Failure to comply with the PASS plan may result in disciplinary actions and procedures under the direction of the respective Program Director.
