Note: Students may progress through the program more quickly by taking Spring Intersession courses.

Promotion from year to year is by recommendation of the Qatar Faculty. For purposes of promotion, the academic year is considered to be from September 1 of one year to August 31 of the next. Hence, Spring Intersession grades are calculated with the previous Fall/Winter Term grades. The minimum requirement is a grade point average of 2.00 in each of the first two years and 2.50 in each of the last two years.

Except with special permission of the Dean, the BN degree must be completed within seven calendar years from the date of initial registration in the program.

Students transferring from other institutions or faculties within the University are considered on an individual basis. However, students will be required to complete the equivalent of not fewer than 30 units (5.0 full-course equivalents), at least 18 units (3.0 full-course equivalents), of which must be nursing courses taken as a BN student.
