Steps for Reinstatement
Reinstatement to the Nursing Program
In Quarters 7-12
How does Platt College define reinstatement?
Students who withdraw or are withdrawn by the College are eligible for reinstatement. Platt College defines reinstatement as a return to the nursing program where the student left off in their nursing program. Students who return for reinstatement are not counted once again as a new student in the program. Students who are eligible for reinstatement are not required to go back through a readmission committee or an orientation to return. While they may be required to meet with the Dean or Associate Dean of Nursing to create an academic plan of return to ensure success in the nursing program, they simply return to the program where they left off.
A student may only be reinstated once and may not be considered for additional reinstatements. In addition, if a former student is accepted for reinstatement and they do not progress in the program, they may not be considered for future reinstatement. If you are reinstated, you are only allowed one more failure. For the purpose of this policy, a "student" is defined as an individual that has progressed past the add/drop date of any quarter.
