Reentry Students

General Reentry Standards

BHCLR offers students one opportunity to apply for reentry if the student was unsuccessful in a course or had to withdraw due to personal, health or other reasons.  Reentry is not guaranteed.  Reentry requests are evaluated based on space and/or student performance.

The Schools of Allied Health, Nursing-Accelerated, Patient Care Technician, and Practical Nursing evaluate students for reentry on an individual basis through application to the Program Director and/or Coordinator.

The School of Nursing evaluates students for reentry utilizing the following process:  

1. For students entering in January 2023 and forward, the School of Nursing-Traditional track will count previous unsuccessful attempts in nursing outside of BHCLR when considering eligibility for reentry.
2. Students who withdraw from all courses by the Voluntary Withdrawal Date are eligible to apply to reenter the next, upcoming semester.  Because there is a break in enrollment, a reentry application, official transcripts, background screenings, registrar check, welcome day attendance, and all other appropriate incoming student processes are required by established deadlines.  Completed files are forwarded to the Selection III / Reentry Committee.   
3. Students who withdraw from one or more courses by the Voluntary Withdrawal Date and successfully complete their remaining courses are eligible to apply to reenter the next, upcoming semester.  Students submit a Withdrawal Request Form and note their desire to reenter.  The reentry checklist is completed by Enrollment Services and complete files are forwarded to the Selection III / Reentry Committee.  
4. Students who are unsuccessful in one or more courses (D, F or WX) are eligible to apply to reenter the next, upcoming semester provided they meet application deadlines.  Students submit a reentry application.  The reentry checklist is completed by Enrollment Services and completed files are forwarded to the Selection III / Reentry Committee.  
5. Students who miss the application deadline will be eligible to apply for the next semester.
6. Students must be in good financial standing to be eligible to apply for reentry.  
7. Students who pause enrollment for one year or longer are eligible to apply for entry at the Freshman level. These students will be ranked utilizing the Freshman rating tool. 
8. If selected, reentry students are under probation with required terms and remediation.   
9. The Selection III / Reentry Committee will review each student’s request with respect to space availability. 
10. The Selection III / Reentry Committee will consider attendance, conduct, academic and clinical performance for students who earned a D, F or WX in one or more courses and for students that have sat out a semester prior to applying for reentry.
11. The Selection III / Reentry Committee will not review a student’s reentry application file if the student has an incomplete grade, is in an active grievance, and/or has an outstanding balance.
12. The Selection III / Reentry Committee will make all selection decisions and academic course plans.  Enrollment Services will communicate next steps with the student. 
13. If selected, students who are out of instruction for one semester will be required to enroll and take all courses at the level of reentry regardless of previously earned credit.
14. All students reentering Sophomore II must enroll and successfully complete NSG 2501: Synthesis of Nursing Concepts course regardless of previously earned credit.
