  3. Number of grades of Ds and/or Fs in courses taken over the past 5 years that are required in the School of Nursing curriculum. Even if the course has been repeated with a higher grade the D or F is still counted.

Please note that 5 points are given for completion of Anatomy and Physiology I, 10 points are given for completion of Anatomy and Physiology I and enrolled in Anatomy and Physiology II and 15 points for completion of Anatomy and Physiology I and II.
