Students will take the HESI Exit Exam up to three times before graduation to reach the benchmark. The highest attempt will count as the Final Grade. An individualized remediation plan based on the student’s score will be required after each unsuccessful attempt. The student who is passing with the highest HESI included in the average grade but who has not passed the HESI examination may graduate in May but the Affidavit of Graduation will not be submitted to the Texas Board of Nursing until a score of 850 is achieved. Students in this category will be required to take the NCSBN On-line Review Course, show proof of taking 75 NCLEX-RN style questions daily, and take a HESI Exit Exam weekly until obtaining a score of 850.

See the Evaluation Policy in the student handbook for grading and progression information See the Attendance Policy in the student handbook for attendance requirements.See the Policy for Test Taking/Grade Information in the student handbook for information on testing.Non-Attendance and Financial Aid: If the student is receiving financial aid, federal regulations require the student to have begun attending the courses for which the student is enrolled on or before the census date (e.g., 12th day of each fall and spring semester). Attendance in an online course is verified by substantial participation in the course on or before the census date. TVCC defines substantial participation as logging in to the online course AND completing/participating in at least one requirement of the course. Students documented as “not attending” a course upon the census date are assumed (for financial aid purposes) to have NOT begun attendance for that course, and this may negatively affect financial aid disbursements.
