Procedures for Notifying Students of Changes in Program Policies

Program policies are reviewed annually and modified for the incoming class.  Upon admission to the baccalaureate program, all students receive a student handbook with policies and procedures that are applied while a student is enrolled in the program.

Students will be notified of changes to program policies by the Office of Student Affairs.  All nursing students will receive notification of changes to program policies to their OSU email address.  Printed student handbooks will be updated annually.  Student handbooks available in electronic format on the student web site will be updated immediately. Program policy changes made during the academic year will include an effective date and indicate if the change impacts currently enrolled students.  No program policy changes will be implemented retroactively that could negatively impact student progression or program completion.
