Many students have been held back from sitting for their NCLEX after they have graduated. If this applies to you or someone you know, please read carefully.

Make your subject heading Re: Jersey College/The Center for Allied Health and Nursing Education Graduate Exit Exam Crisis

If you attended the school when it was the Center for Allied Health, please indicate that in your letter. It is detrimental to provide whatever information you have to submit so that it can be recorded before the next Education Committee Board meeting.

For individuals who attended the Jersey College campus in Ewing, NJ or Teterboro, NJ (Or Hackensack, NJ if you were at CAN at the time of graduation) PLEASE INDICATE WHICH CAMPUS YOU ARE WRITING FROM.

Be sure to indicate your specific story and especially mention the day that you did your FINANCIAL EXIT COUNSELING with the financial aid office in your respective school. This indicates your final day of classes. This is very important information to include. In addition to that, do not forget to put your GRADUATION DATE. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THE SCHOOL GAVE YOU AN EXIT AFTER YOU SUBMITTED PAPERWORK TO THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION STATING THAT YOU HAD OFFICIALLY GRADUATED.

FOR STUDENTS WHO THE ABOVE TAB APPLIES TO AND YOU ALSO RECEIVED FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID TO PAY FOR YOUR LPN OR RN SCHOOLING:

Visit this website, choose a way that you would like to contact the U.S. Department of Education and ask to speak to a Complaint Resolution Specialist. They will listen to your full story and give you a complaint ID number. You can also e-mail them the same letter you are sending the Board of Nursing.
