Students Seeking Readmission
STUDENTS SEEKING READMISSION—Students who previously attended Howard Community College may need to update their admissions information. This step is generally required if a student has not been in attendance for two or more years but may also be required for other reasons. When necessary, a new application must be completed, and proof of residency submitted upon request.
Students who are suspended for academic reasons are entitled to appeal their suspension. The notification regarding academic suspension provides detailed information about the appeals process. Students who are suspended for academic reasons as of a specific term, who also seek readmission for that term, must submit a letter to the readmissions committee through the Office of Completion Services requesting readmission approval. Students who have not been enrolled for five or more years or who receive a disability-related course substitution may be eligible for academic amnesty, as outlined in the College catalog and Procedure 50.04.01, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act Services Procedure.
NURSE EDUCATION PROGRAM READMISSION—Students who are not successful in their nursing courses and who do not progress in accordance with both the sequence and the timeframe as designated in the course catalog, will not be able to progress through the Nurse Education Program. Readmission is based on seat availability, and it is highly unlikely that a seat will be available for readmission. Please note that a student may be readmitted only once to the Nurse Education Program.
The Accelerated Nurse Education program option does not include a readmission option. Former Accelerated Nurse Education program students should instead seek readmission to clinical coursework through the Traditional Nurse Education program option. Readmission to all other Nurse Education program options is contingent on specific criteria, submission of a new supplemental Nurse Education program application for admission by the stated deadlines, and available space. Readmitted students may have to complete various curricular components, a nursing assessment exam, and demonstrate other competencies. Students seeking readmission to clinical nursing classes must consult the Nursing Student Handbook to determine the most current re-entry procedures. Readmission procedures for the clinical coursework in all nursing and allied health clinical programs are subject to change.
ALLIED HEALTH PROGRAM READMISSION—Students who are not successful in their allied health clinical courses and who do not progress in accordance with both the sequence and the timeframe as designated in the course catalog, will not be able to progress through the clinical program. Readmission is based on seat availability, and it is highly unlikely that a seat will be available for readmission. Students seeking readmission may have to complete various curricular components, an assessment exam, and demonstrate other clinical competencies. Students must consult their clinical handbook to determine the most current re-entry procedures. Please note that each allied health program has their own readmission criteria.
