DNP Students: Student Evaluation and Progression

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.
