POLICY STATEMENT

The SON Graduate Program at American University of Health Sciences (AUHS) has a rigorous academic progression policy to ensure students’ progress through the MSN curriculum in a timely manner and to ensure they become effective and safe practitioners. The typical curriculum schedule is found in the Student Handbook. To maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), all MSN students at American University of Health Sciences must meet specific minimum standards of academic achievement. Failure to meet the requirements of maintaining SAP may result in punitive actions up to and including the possible loss of federal Title IV funds and/or other governmental financial aid and suspension or termination from the SON Graduate Program. This policy applies to all MSN students whether or not they participate in Title IV or other governmental financial aid programs. It is important for students to read and understand the SON’s SAP standards.

In the event of a student receiving a Failing grade in a course, eligibility to remediate the course will be determined by the Office of Academic Affairs based on policy (see Remediation Policy).
