Requirements specific to earning the ASN Degree

To earn the degree of ASN a student must do the following:

Residency Requirement for the ASN Degree

To fulfill the residence requirement, a minimum of 15-semester credits must be earned at the University of Jamestown. These credits may be earned entirely online, on campus, or in any combination thereof.

All students enrolled at the University of Jamestown who wish to complete courses at other academic institutions and to transfer those courses for credit to the University of Jamestown must have those courses pre-approved through the Registrar’s Office. Whether a course corresponds in content and quality to a University of Jamestown course will be determined by the registrar in conversation with the relevant Site Director and Executive Director of the School of Nursing (EDSON). A minimal expectation is that the course in question comes from a CHEA-approved regional accrediting association of schools and colleges that offers either associate or bachelor’s degrees.

Major Field of Study

At least half of the candidate’s major must be completed at the University of Jamestown; modification of this requirement may be made by the Site Director or the EDSON.

Graduation Application

A Graduation Intent Form must be submitted to the registrar at least one semester prior to graduation. This is the responsibility of the student. Forms are available in the Registrar’s Office or the Site Director's office for programs that are not located in Jamestown.

Commencement

Graduating students are expected to attend and participate fully in graduation activities including baccalaureate and commencement ceremonies. Mid-year or other graduates unable to return for commencement may request their degrees in absentia by writing to the Dean of the CGPS.
