Successful Course Completion
For continued success in BHMT programs you need to receive a passing grade of C or better for each course you complete and you must meet any program/school specific requirements. This ensures you comply with the BHMT Academic Suspension policy you agreed to as part of the BHMT Beneficiary Agreement. For more information about the suspension process, refer to the BHMT Beneficiary Agreement.
BHMT Beneficiary Agreement
This program and participation is governed by the terms of the BHMT Beneficiary Agreement. Please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the agreement; by registering and participating in this program you are agreeing to comply with it.
Student must first be accepted into the BHMT RN to BSN program. Start by contacting a Career Development Coach to maximize your benefits and make sure your education supports your career. Upon referral by the BHMT Career Development Coach, clients meet with their BHMT Academic Success Coach to confirm academic readiness and develop an education plan. Student’s BHMT Academic Success Coach sends the BHMT Intent to Enroll Form to the Admissions Advisor. The application process for the RN-BSN program consists of one application through Cal State Apply. The link can be found on the CSUF Nursing website. Prospective students must submit all required application materials by the designated deadlines. Failure to submit required items by the deadline will make prospective students inadmissible to the RN-BSN program for the term to which they are applying. School of Nursing applications are processed in partnership by the CSUF Admissions department and the Nursing Advising Center. Applicants who are offered admission are admitted to both the university and the RN-BSN program. It is not possible for an applicant to the RN-BSN program to be admitted to the university but not the School of Nursing or vice versa.
YES. If you are already attending one of the preferred providers on our list of schools, you may apply to the RN to BSN program. If your school of choice is not one of our partner providers, you will have the option to use stipend time only – no tuition assistance through BHMT will be available. Please apply through the BHMT Individual Stipend Program.
Per BHMT’s student agreement, a grade of “W”, “I”, or below a “C” will result in a BHMT academic suspension. Failing to earn any grade your program requires for passing is considered an unsuccessful grade and will result in a BHMT academic suspension. You will be notified via email regarding your next steps, which include working with an Academic Success Coach to complete a plan for the suspension to be released. Depending on the number of suspensions you have received, your wait time to resume classes in your degree will vary.
Work with your school on the withdrawal and contact your Academic Success Coach as you may be subject to BHMT’s Unsuccessful Course Completion policy.
You may contact BHMT by sending your question or concerns to BHMT@kp.org. Please remember to include your NUID# and EID# for faster identification processing and response.
