Support Network for Students

The Donnelly Support Network - (Chain of Command)
By participating in regular grade conferences and taking initiative in addressing academic concerns, students are better positioned to succeed in the Nursing Program and meet progression requirements.

Chain of Command = Student > Instructor > Nursing Academic Advisor > Director of Nursing > Dean of the College

Students must follow the appropriate chain of command when addressing concerns about grades or course performance:

First, the student should speak directly with the instructor of the course.
If unresolved, the student may then consult with the Nursing Academic Advisor.
If the concern is still unresolved, the Director of Nursing can be contacted and a meeting can be set up through the Nursing Administrative Coordinator - email fhuff@donnelly.edu
