QCC - Retaking A&P question

Published

Hi, I am currently working on my pre requisites for the nursing program at queensborough but my only problem is my grade for A&P 1. I definitely did not do as well as I should've (let's just say, below passing) and was wondering if I was able to retake the class in order to do better. Every other class I had taken either has an A or B but it's anatomy that really got to me last semester :/

When I applied for fall 2012 classes, I signed myself up for a&p 1 again but I keep hearing that you are not able to retake the class if you failed? Can anyone help?

    • Only the first grade attained in the pre - clinical sequence will be calculated.
    • As of fall 2007, Anatomy and Physiology (BI-301 and BI-302) whether taken at QCC or transferred in from another institution will not be accepted for consideration if taken more than six (6) years ago. Microbiology BI-311 must have been taken within the last five (5) years. Students must achieve a C or better in all Biological Science courses (BI-301, 302 and 311)
    • BI-301 and BI-302 (Anatomy and Physiology I and II) must be taken at the
    • same institution.

Unless one is mistaken the above means you can repeat a course as many times as you like,but only the first grade will count towards the GPA required (3.0) for entry into the clinical phase/offical nursing program.

As usual standard advice applies; seek out and speak with someone in the nursing department to obtain official counsel on how to proceed.

I am a graduate of QCC, you can't repeat a pre-req class unless it's been 6 or more years since you've taken it.
