 Important Qualification Information for Nursing (RN)
VERY IMPORTANT

1. It is the student’s responsibility to notify Rhodes State College of any name, address or
phone number changes. Students are notified of their acceptance into the program by U.
S. Mail. Once offered an acceptance, the student has a specified period of time to
respond. If, for any reason, an invited student does not respond, that student is removed
from the qualification list, and the seat is offered to the next student. The most common
reason this happens is because the student failed to update their address and phone
number. To update information, please contact the Student Advising and Development
Center, 148 Student Services Building or call (419) 995-8000.

2. After Qualifying, a student must maintain a GPA of 2.5 or higher in order to remain on
the qualified list. If the student’s GPA drops below 2.5, his/her name will be removed
from the list. To re-qualify, the student must raise his/her GPA to or above 2.5. The
student’s name will then be added to the qualification list based on the re-qualification
date, which would be the last day of the quarter during which the GPA was raised to 2.5
or higher.
