ADDENDUM to the Rasmussen University Catalog and Student Handbook 2021-2022 June 30, 2022 p. 131, School of Nursing and School of Health Sciences Entrance Exam (6/15/2022) Delete this policy in its entirety and replace with the following: Potential students who are interested in enrolling into Rasmussen University in a program that requires a TEAS admissions score will be given access by admissions to the online registration process for the School of Health Sciences and School of Nursing Entrance Exam (the Test of Essential Academic Skills, or “TEAS”). Here, the applicant may register and pay associated fees for the study materials and exam. Based on exam scores, applicants may apply for a School of Health Sciences or School of Nursing program of study for which they qualify. Applicants not meeting the exam score requirement are allowed a maximum of five attempts, at any exam location or for any program within the past 365 days. Effective June 20th, 2022, students enrolling into the Professional Nursing Associate’s degree program through the Bloomington, Hennepin/Anoka and Lake Elmo/Woodbury campuses are allowed a maximum of two attempts within the past 365 days, and only attempts completed on campus at Bloomington, Eagan, Hennepin/Anoka and Lake Elmo/Woodbury locations will be accepted. A minimum of one week (seven calendar days) between TEAS attempts is expected. Any entrance exam results dated more than 365 days prior to submission of the signed Rasmussen University Enrollment Agreement will not be considered, with the following exception: Students currently enrolled in a School of Nursing or School of Health Sciences program who transfer directly as an uninterrupted transfer (no time off between quarters) into a different program of study requiring TEAS assessment will not be required to retake the exam if the existing score meets the entrance threshold of the program into which they are transferring. Applicants who have previously taken the entrance exam within the past 365 days for admission to another institution may, at their own expense, have the results transferred to Rasmussen University. Transferred scores will be verified by the University. Current students in other programs wishing to transfer into a course of study requiring the admissions standards outlined above will be required to complete the entrance exam according to the composite score threshold and 365-day time limit. Students who have left a Nursing program of study and wish to reenter into a TEAS-required program as an interrupted transfer must meet all eligibility requirements as set forth in the School of Nursing Reenter Policy; in this specific case, the initially qualifying TEAS score has a 12- quarter expiration from the quarter of programmatic withdrawal (i.e., the quarter of reentry must be within the 12-quarter expiration period. All applicants must meet the following composite score threshold(s): • TEAS Score for admissions eligibility for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, Standard Entrance Accelerated BSN Option and Second Degree Accelerated BSN Option: 72% or higher composite score. TEAS score is not required for Bachelor of Science in Nursing, RN to BSN Option. • TEAS Score for admissions eligibility for the Physical Therapist Assistant program: 65% or higher composite score.) Applicants transferring 63 or more credits into the Physical Therapist Assistant program via the METC Block Transfer policy are not required to take the TEAS exam. • TEAS Score for admissions eligibility for Professional Nursing Associate’s Degree program and Mobility Bridge Entrance Option 62% or higher composite score. Students enrolling into the Professional Nursing Associate’s degree program through the Bloomington, Hennepin/Anoka and Lake Elmo/Woodbury campuses are required to have a 68% or higher composite score. • TEAS Score for admissions eligibility for Practical Nursing Diploma program: 55% or higher composite score. • TEAS Score for admissions eligibility for Medical Laboratory Technician, Radiologic Technology, or Surgical Technologist programs: 48.5% or higher composite score. • TEAS Score for admissions eligibility for Healthcare Certificate program, and Healthcare and Health Sciences Associate degree programs that require E102 Pathways to Patient Care Seminar course: 41.3% or higher composite score. Threshold exam percentages will not be rounded. p. 132, Tuition (9/30/2021, 11/8/2021, 12/17/2021, 1/6/2022, 2/18/2022, 4/28/2022) Delete the Tuition page in its entirety and replace with the Tuition page that appears at the end of this Addendum. p. 133, Additional Tuition Information (9/30/2021, 12/17/21) Replace the 6th bullet in this section with the following: • Students with tuition rates at or lower than $229 per credit for full-time rates and $299 per credit for part- time rates are not eligible for the Non-Active Military Tuition Grant, Corporate Alliance Grant, Professional Achievement Grant, Articulation Grant, Affiliation Grant, Chicago Residential Grant, Chicago Alumni Grant, or any other University institutional grant.
