no GPAs), then we would recognize their degree if the school is accredited; however, we would not be able to issue any academic credit, nor GPA. I see this a lot with students applying to MSN who obtained BSN this way. If this is the ONLY undergrad work they
have, then I have to decline their application and advise that we require XX academic GPA for program entry. Nursing agrees with this, but if other departments did not, they may be able to work something into their criteria to allow some kind of flexibility
here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
