IV. Plan of Study and Progression Policy

Your plan of study is important to your progression through the program. Every effort is made to facilitate your timely progression. The MSN EIP program is based on a 20-month (five semester) lock step program. If your plan of study needs to be changed due to illness or other major life events, it may delay your progress through the program. Due to frequency of course offerings, students who amend the plan of study may be required to wait one year to re-enter the program.

To request a change in your plan of study, contact the College of Nursing’s Felton Student Success Center or your advisor. You were sent your individual plan of study upon admission, should you need another copy, contact Abbie Beadle in the Felton Student Success Center at abigail-beadle@uiowa.edu.

To progress through the program, students must remain in good standing. This includes a 2.75 GPA or higher, and a C or higher in all required nursing courses and following prescribed plan of study.

Good standing for practicum courses also includes demonstration of safe practice, satisfactory progress towards course competencies, and demonstration of professionalism. See the main graduate program handbook for more details.
