A maximum of nine (9) credit hours with a minimum grade of B in courses that fulfill the curriculum requirements may be transferred from an accredited college or university with the consent of the Admission, Progression and Graduation (APG) Committee. Credits used to meet requirements for the BSN may not be used toward the MSN degree.
- Admission of Students on Academic Probation: Students with an undergraduate GPA lower than 3.0 may be admitted on academic probation upon the endorsement of the Admission, Progression and Graduation (APG) Committee.

- Remove all conditions, deficiencies, probation, deferred or incomplete grades.
- Achieve a 3.0 GPA by the time the student has completed 42 credit hours of course work, as required for graduation. Credit hours toward the degree are not granted for courses with a grade below B-. All grades are included in computing the grade point average (GPA).
- Complete all degree requirements within six (6) years of the date the student begins course work.
