Incomplete Grades and Course Make – Up Work
The opportunity to complete an incomplete grade or make-up missed work including examinations may
be available to the student. The ability to complete incomplete makeup course work is determined by
policy. The student’s follow-through with policy regarding attendance, the student’s previous attendance
records and academic progress will be considered when making this decision. Fees are charged to cover
the program’s expense associated with grading, clinical make-up time, nursing skills laboratory make-up
time, examination preparation, proctoring, and recording.

Attendance and Method of Delivery
The program is a residential-blended program of study. Regular and prompt attendance is required.
Attendance and specific requirements are published in programmatic student handbooks and course
syllabi.

Class and Clinical Rotations
Classes are scheduled on a regular basis and are usually Tuesday through Friday, 8:00 am – 4:30 pm
unless otherwise scheduled on course calendars. A class schedule is provided during orientation. Selected
courses have clinical laboratories taught concurrently with lecture topics. This approach provides students
hands-on experience and visual reinforcement of the principles learned in the classroom. Laboratory
rotations are scheduled by the program faculty and may occur Tuesday – Friday and/or weekends. The
time for clinical experiences varies per course.

School Day
A typical school day is from 8:00 am – 5:00 pm Tuesday through Friday for the classroom. Clinical
rotations vary and are scheduled by the faculty.

Credit Hours
Each required course in the professional curriculum reflects a credit hour value. BHCLR uses the credit
hour formula identified in the Academic Information section of the Catalog.

Educational Plans and Promotion

On entry, each student receives an educational plan of study. The plan must be followed to ensure
completion and graduation on the scheduled date. There must be no deviations from the plan without the
Registrar and respective Coordinator’s prior approval.

Promotion from one classification to another is dependent on the student complying with the educational
plan and in fulfilling all requirements for each level of study in the program.
