P. 183, Accreditation and Licensing (6/22/2023) Update the Radiologic Technology Associate’s program accreditation information for the Ocala, Florida campus: • Ocala campus in Florida was granted reaccreditation in 2023 for a period of eight years. P. 183, Accreditation and Licensing (4/3/2023) In the 2nd column, add the following new section after the paragraph that states Rasmussen University is licensed by the Commission for Independent Education, Florida Department of Education: • The Professional Nursing Associate’s degree program at the Fort Myers campus in Florida is approved by the Florida Board of Nursing. On Feb. 1, 2023, pursuant to § 464.019(5)(a)(2) Fla. Stat., the Professional Nursing Associate’s degree program at the Fort Myers campus was placed on probation for having a graduate pass rate for two consecutive years that was more than 10 percentage points lower than the average passage rate during the same calendar year for graduates of comparable degree programs who are United States educated, first-time test takers on the National Council of State Boards of Nursing Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (“NCLEX-RN”). On Feb. 1, 2023, the Professional Nursing Associate’s degree program at the Fort Myers campus in Florida presented a remediation plan to the Florida Board of Nursing, including strategies that have been implemented along with strategies that the University plans to implement to improve first-time test takers’ performance on the NCLEX-RN. If the program, during the 2 calendar years following its placement on probationary status, does not achieve the required passage rate for any 1 calendar year, the board may extend the program’s probationary status for 1 additional year, provided the program has demonstrated adequate progress toward the graduate passage rate goal by meeting a majority of the benchmarks established in the remediation plan. If the program is not granted the 1-year extension or fails to achieve the required passage rate by the end of such extension, the board shall terminate the program. If Enrollee is accepted into the Professional Nursing Associate’s degree program at the Fort Myers campus in Florida and graduates from the program while it is on probation, then Enrollee will be able to sit for the NCLEX-RN. If Enrollee is accepted into the Professional Nursing Associate’s degree program at the Fort Myers campus in Florida and the program is terminated before Enrollee graduates, then the program will be taught out, which will allow current students at the time of program termination the opportunity to graduate and sit for the NCLEX-RN. Since the probationary status or possible program termination does not affect students’ ability to graduate and sit for the NCLEX-RN, refunds will not be issued for tuition and fees incurred because of the probationary status or if the program is terminated.
