Academic Renewal Policy
School of Nursing students who have not been enrolled at the University for at least 10 consecutive semesters and/or have previously earned a degree or certificate from Stony Brook University, will have their record treated as two separate records. Under the School of Nursing Academic Renewal policy, the cumulative GPA will be reset at the start of a student’s new program and the cumulative grade point average will be calculated based on course grades earned as of the date of academic renewal. Please note, the original grades will remain on the transcript.
After academic renewal, undergraduate students must earn 55 credits in residence to be considered for degrees with distinction.
Course Withdrawal
If a student wishes to drop a course, they may do so through Solar up until the end of the Add/Drop period (refer to the HSC calendar for dates).
After the Add/Drop period, and up until the ninth week of classes, withdrawal requests are processed by the Office of Student Affairs. A final grade for Withdrawal (W) will be recorded on the student’s transcript.
After the ninth week of class, students may only withdraw from a course by withdrawing from all courses in that semester OR by withdrawing from the University; exceptions to this policy may be approved by the program director via a petition process. Students may be required to submit documentation to warrant such approval.
For Summer/Winter sessions, withdrawal requests after the 10th day of class must be processed by the Office of Student Affairs and a final grade for Withdrawal (W) will be recorded on the student’s transcript.
Students who withdraw from a course(s) are liable for payment of tuition and fees in accordance with the University’s schedule of tuition liability.
For all courses dropped or withdrawn, students shall inform their faculty of record and meet with their program director for a revised program pathway. Withdrawing from a course constitutes an attempt to complete the course. Students are allowed only two attempts at any course; exceptions to this policy may be approved by the program director.
