Course Sequencing Guide
Note: This Course Sequence Guide is intended only as a guide for planning. A student's actual course load may vary based on course credits accepted in transfer (Policy 02:14:00, Transfer Credit); success in foundational liberal arts and sciences, and nursing coursework (see Policy 02:15:00, Pass to Progress). The School of Nursing reserves the right to make changes to the Course Sequence Guide based upon the mission and clinical availability. Students may not take two clinical courses in the same quarter with the exception of Quarter 11.
