Student Responsibilities
Transportation
Students are responsible for transportation to class and clinical settings. Clinical sites are located throughout Northern Ohio and Southeastern Michigan. The university provides bus transportation between Main Campus and Health Science Campus. Students can obtain schedules from the university website. Parking fees are enforced at UToledo and may apply at clinical sites.
Criminal Records Check
Criminal record checks will be conducted on all students accepted for admission to College of Nursing programs and for any student visiting affiliated clinical facilities. Ohio students are required to have a BCII and FBI background check prior to matriculation into the program. If a student lives outside the state of Ohio, they need FBI only. The student is responsible for processing fees. Reports from BCII and FBI must be sent directly to the undergraduate program office from their organizations respectively. Duplicate reports from places of employment or other sources are not acceptable.
Students must declare and document misdemeanor and/or felony offenses that occur prior to admission in the nursing program and/or during program progression. Convictions may result in denial of admission to the program or dismissal after matriculation.
Clinical Agency Requirements
Students must meet health and safety requirements based on agency, local, state, and federal government mandates. Students are responsible for the cost associated with the costs of these requirements. Documentation must be submitted at least 6 weeks before the start of the semester.
Plan of Study
Students must consult with the Nursing Academic Advisor to develop a plan of study. BSN students follow the required sequence of courses as stated in this catalog. Courses in each semester of the nursing major, for the pre-licensure BSN program, are co-requisite to one another and pre-requisite to the next semester. Therefore, students who need to make changes to their plan of study are required to meet with the BSN Program Director and Nursing Academic Advisor prior to taking any action.
RN-BSN student enrollment is on a full-time or part-time basis, with one or more courses each semester. Students are expected to progress according to their plan of study. Plan of study changes must be discussed with the Nursing Academic Advisor and Program Director.
Withdraw, DroP, and Not Reported Grade Policy
Student may be at risk for loss of financial aid with excessive hours of W, DR, and NR grades. Students who transfer into the College of Nursing from another college at The University of Toledo retain all accumulated W, DR, and NR grades. Failing grades as a result of academic dishonesty will remain in the student academic record and are not eligible for grade recalculation.
Upon Admission students receive a matriculation packet which includes professional, legal, ethical standards, general information, academic policies, student participation on committees and organization policies, and RN licensure information.
