In order to obtain satisfactory standing in the Qatar Faculty, students must attain a minimum grade of "C" in all nursing courses with a laboratory component, “C-“ in all nursing theory courses, and must attain a "credit" grade in all practice nursing courses. Students will not be permitted to withdraw from practice nursing courses in order to avoid a failing grade.
Students who fail to attain satisfactory standing as defined above in a nursing course with a laboratory component, a nursing theory course, or a nursing practice course will be required to repeat the course and normally the corequisite courses. The students must meet with the Associate Dean, Academic to discuss to determine a progression plan. Students must clear all unsatisfactory grades before they may progress to any further nursing courses.
Students may repeat a course previously failed or one in which a higher grade is sought. However, students usually will be permitted to repeat a particular course only once. Exceptions to this regulation may be made only in unusual circumstances and at the discretion of the Associate Dean, Academic.
Students will not be permitted to withdraw more than once from a particular course. Students will be required to withdraw if they have accumulated a total of more than 30 units of withdrawals while in attendance at the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ in Qatar.
All grades (including original grades in repeated courses) are used in the calculation of grade point averages for purposes of the official ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ in Qatar transcript of record and for progression in the Nursing Programs as outlined in Students Previously in Satisfactory Standing and Students on Probation.

A student must successfully complete both courses to progress to the next level. Students who do not receive a "C" in both courses will be required to repeat the level before advancing to the next level.
All students are permitted two attempts in any course. Two unsuccessful attempts may result in the student being withdrawn from the Nursing Foundation Program.
