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 #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 DNP Coordinating Committee (DNPCC), in concert with the Graduate School Coordinator, the Associate Dean for Academic Services.
The DNPCC 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 DNPCC 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.
