Extended Study

The Undergraduate Faculty of the School of Nursing is committed to providing a program of extended study for those students who may have difficulty gaining maximum value from the program as designed.

Individualized Study

Students admitted to The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Nursing from another nursing school where they have completed course work at the upper-division level will have each course reviewed by undergraduate faculty for transfer credit using established procedures. A study plan to meet remaining program requirements will be developed with the Director of Undergraduate Programs.

Procedures

Extended and individualized study planning and evaluation are coordinated by the Director of Undergraduate Programs. An annual review of study plans and procedures will be done by the Baccalaureate Faculty Executive Committee or its designee. Data for this review will be provided by the Director of Undergraduate Programs.

• The Director of Undergraduate Programs meets with the student to develop alternatives for extended or individualized study.
• The Director of Undergraduate Programs works with the faculty, as needed, to determine the feasibility of options for the student's progression.
• Referral is made, as needed, to the Director of Admissions and Student Services to review scholarship and financial aid concerns.
• The study plan is signed by the student and the Director of Undergraduate Programs. Copies of the document are distributed to all signers and retained in the student's permanent file in the Office of Admissions and Student Services.
• The Director of Undergraduate Programs coordinates ongoing evaluation of the extended or individualized study plan.

Changes in the Plan of Study

If the need for change in the study plan is identified, the Director of Undergraduate Programs meets with the student to revise the plan. Procedures above are followed for this revision. (Adopted by the faculty May 6, 1987; amended May 1, 1988; revised August 2000.)
