The school has tried on multiple occasions to assist this student in her quest to enter into the Practical Nursing program. However, having recently graduated with a degree from the Medical Assisting Program the student was required to graduate with a minimum of a 3.0 GRADE POINT AVERAGE or PASS THE...

TEAS ENTRANCE EXAM.  Unfortunately, the student failed to achieve either of these requirements. The student is well informed and is welcome to take the TEAS entrance exam again to try to improve her score. However, she recently refused this offer. I have provided the section of the catalog, which clearly outlines the requirements for entrance into the Practical Nursing Program. At this point, the student does not meet those requirements. Furthermore, the school did not and does not represent our program offerings in any way that is not consistent with what is stated in our catalog. We do not make promissory statements and do not try to deceive our students in any way. Frankly, that assertion is offensive and unwarranted.  Regardless, the school is still willing to allow the student to retake the TEAS test in an effort to achieve a passing score so that she can apply for entrance into the PN Program. Acceptance to the program in Practical nursing is competitive, and candidates are strongly encouraged to initiate the admissions or Program have been s Requirements for Admission to the Practical Nursing Programs Acceptance to the program(s) in Practical Nursing is competitive, and candidates are strongly encouraged to initiate the admissions procedure well before the intended start date.  Candidates for admission to the Practical Nursing program(s) must meet the following requirements: Be a high school graduate from a recognized school providing secondary education within the United States or hold a General Equivalency Diploma (GED), and Be at least 17 years of age as of the first day of scheduled classes, and Successfully pass institutional assessment exams (including a placement proficiency exam and an exam designated to assess readiness for nursing education) measuring proficiency in oral and written communications and quantitative literacy with scores acceptable to the institution, and Demonstrate proficiency in mathematics and natural (biological) sciences, as demonstrated by:Earning a grade of “C” or above in Math A (or Algebra) and Biology (or comparable natural science course) in high school.Biology (or comparable natural science course) must be earned at the ninth grade level or higher.Math credits must be earned at the tenth grade level or higher; orreceiving passing scores in Mathematics and Science on the GED examination, or an equivalent proficiency examination; orearning a grade of “C” or above in college-level Mathematics and/or Biology coursework; or o A combination of these or alternative methods of demonstrating proficiency in mathematics and biological/natural sciences as judged appropriate by the institution.

Student failed to provide the appropriate documentation required and requested on multiple occasions to receive financial aid.At the time of enrollment student needed to provide a letter stating that she was not in default on a previous student loan taken out at a different institution .She failed...

to provide this letter after many attempts onthe schools part requesting this needed document. Additionally, Student neglected to provide parents income which was also a required document since she was considered a dependent student. She also failed to provide this needed information. The failure to provide these two pieces of documentation made her ineligible for financial aid. That loss of aid made her personally responsible for the cost of the education. The school attempted to work with this student on numerous occasions but the student simply failed to provide the needed documentation necessary to process her financial aid. Subsequently, the student agreed to start taking care of her balance with the school by making small monthly installment payments but defaulted on every payment. It is unfortunate that this student feels upset regarding her current status with the school but her neglect in providing needed documentation is the reason that she lost the financial aid that was estimated for when she enrolled in school.

Ms [redacted] graduated from the Licensed practical nursing program at Mildred Elley in 2009 and has been gainfully employed in the field for which she trained. The school provided the education that enabled her to work in her chosen field and to that end dutifully provided the service the student...

contracted the school to provide. Like all post secondary schools and colleges Mildred Elley makes no claim regarding how the schools coursework transfers to other institutions. The decision to accept credits is the sole discretion of the individual institution. Though Mildred Elley has articulation agreements with various area colleges regarding transfer credit the school does not advise students regarding transferring to other schools and colleges. Quite the contrary. It is standard practice nationwide for students to be responsible for insuring that the coursework taken at any college or school will transfer to other institutions when pursuing advanced training or degrees. It is frankly unreasonable for any student to come forward 6 years after successful graduation and job placement to expect some form of recompense. Additionally, it is unlikely that any medically based program would accept  core curriculum classes such as anatomy or pharmacology for transfer after 6-7 years. Most institutions including Mildred Elley would likely require those core courses to be repeated as they are critical for program integrity. The request for reimbursement is  rejected.

The institution is willing to help the student achieve educational outcomes for which she qualifies. The institution must clarify the following statements and has included appropriate citations from the institution's academic catalog where appropriate. The institution encourages the student to...
