In order to maintain Direct Enrollment to the BSN program, all of the progression criteria outlined below must be achieved by the end of Ohio State’s spring semester during your first year. A one-year extension to meet these requirements is permitted. Contact your advisor if the extension is needed.
- Complete 30 semester undergraduate credit hours
- Maintain an Ohio State cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher
- Complete the required seven BSN prerequisite courses with a grade of C+ or higher
If you have taken prerequisite courses at institutions that do not award grades on a +/- scale, you must earn a grade of B or higher in each of the prerequisite courses in order to maintain your direct enrollment status. AP credit may also be utilized to fulfill prerequisite requirements. Official transcripts and/or official AP scores must be sent to the Office of Graduate and Professional Admissions in order for this credit to count towards the prerequisite requirement.
Students who do not meet all the progression criteria or change majors will not retain their direct enrollment to the BSN program.
