I wanted to start this thread for anyone planning to attend Galen this year or next. I am possibly going to be starting in January. I just took the PAX test and passed! I just have to get through this semester.

Hello I was wondering what is the required score for in class testing? I know some schools require a minimum of 80% to pass a test in any class. There are also some that require an 80% for the LPN but an 75% for the RN program, so I'm curious to find out what Galen requires. Thx for any info

I believe it is 75%

Not sure about the classes themselves but I think you cannot get below a B.

This is from the student handbook

* An earned grade of 65-73 is considered a “failure” in all nursing, science, and math courses in the Associate Degree nursing program. All students must earn a grade of a least 74 to pass these courses.

Scholastic Standards

Status in the nursing programs is established by grades as follows:

Satisfactory Standing

• A grade of ‘C’ or above in each nursing, science, and math course.

• A cumulative GPA of at least 2.0.

Probationary Standing

• A grade below ‘C’ in any nursing, science, or math course.

• A cumulative GPA of less than 2.0.

If a student is placed on probation as the result of lack of academic progress, satisfactory academic standing must be achieved by the end of the following quarter or the student will be dismissed from the program.
