Admission to the Graduate School allows students to continue graduate study and research at
the University of Washington. Continuing in the Doctor of Nursing Practice program occurs as
long as students maintain satisfactory performance and progression toward completion of the degree,
as outlined in Graduate School Memorandum No. 16. Completion of the DNP program requires
completion of required courses and credits, a general examination, the capstone project, and a
final examination. Active, unrestricted licensure as an RN in Washington State is a requirement of
the DNP program.
Every student's progress toward completion of the DNP program is reviewed quarterly by the
student's advisor or supervisory committee chair, and annually by the MN/DNP Coordinating Committee
(MNDNPCC), in concert with the Graduate School Coordinator, the Associate Dean for Academic Services.
The MNDNPCC reviews the status of the student's program of study as submitted by the student's
advisor or chairperson. Data are gathered on forms developed by the MNDNPCC and sent to faculty by
staff in Academic Services. The student review includes grades, status in the program, or progress
towards completion of the dissertation if appropriate. Students are notified in writing of the
outcome of the annual review, which may include recommendations for action by student and/or the
supervisory committee. The reviews are conducted in Autumn Quarter each year.
