Returning Students

Effective January 17, 2023, Standard College has implemented a new Return to Program policy.

Standard College is committed to ensuring clear guidelines to former students who seek to return to the Practical Nursing or LPN to RN Transition program. The former student who is interested in returning to a Standard College nursing program must comply with the required steps contained in this policy. The former student must complete and submit the online Return to Program application, take and pass a Placement Exam, make the appropriate tuition payment, and resubmit the Health Requirement forms and Criminal Background Check and Drug Test, in order to return to the program.

A student dismissed from the Nursing program for the first time may apply for re-admission to the program no less than 180 days from the date of dismissal.

A student dismissed from the Nursing program for the second time may apply to the program no less than three years from the date of dismissal.

A student who has been away from the program for more than 5 years must restart the entire program from the beginning. Clock hours, lab hours and clinical hours that had been completed by the student will not be considered or counted as credit. This means, the student who had been away from the program for more than 5 years shall reapply to the program by submitting the online application, along with the application fee, and complete the entire application process. If the student is admitted, the student must start from the beginning of the program.

• Complete and submit a Return to Program online application.
• Take a Placement Exam.
• If you do not pass the Placement Exam, you may retake the Placement Exam in six months.
• If you pass the Placement Exam, you will be given information on scheduling an appointment to go over the Re enrollment agreement.
• You must make the appropriate tuition payment.
• Resubmit the health requirements forms, Criminal Background Check and Drug Test in compliance with clinical facilities policies.
• Reenrollment is based upon space availability.

Reenrollment will be based upon space availability. The former student may need to wait for an unspecified period of time for a spot to become available in the course he/she is scheduled to join, after completing the required steps contained in this policy.
