G. Disability Statement
It is the policy of Bergen Community College to create inclusive learning environments where all students
have maximum opportunities for success. To that end, BCC recognizes that students with documented
physical, emotional, medical or learning disabilities may require accommodations to meet their learning
potential.
Accommodations are mandated by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities act of
1990 (ADA), and the Amendment Act of 2008 state, “No otherwise qualified individual with disabilities in
the United States… shall solely by reason of his/her disability, be excluded from the participation in, be
denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination or harassment under any program or activity
receiving Federal financial assistance.”
The Office of Specialized Services (OSS) serves to both determine and document what reasonable
accommodations may be needed for the student. However, it is the responsibility of the student to identify
him/herself and request assistance from the OSS office and to provide the instructor as well as the Office
of Testing Services (Room S-127) with a list of accommodations approved by the OSS office every
semester.
If you have a disability or suspect that you have a disability, your first step is to contact the Office of
Specialized Services in Room L-115 (201-612-5270) and www.bergen.edu/oss. Appropriate
accommodations will be generated based upon evidence of documented disability. Please be aware that
students with disabilities are responsible for meeting the same standards for mastery of course content as
students without disabilities.
Reasonable accommodations include but are not limited to:
• Extended time on tests
• Assistive/adaptive technology (JAWS, KURZWEIL, CCTV)
• Assistance in arranging for a sign language interpreters and C-print captionists
• Recorded text
• Reader and/or Scribe
• Peer note-takers
• Books in alternate format
• Calculator use (4-function) for remedial math placements

NUR 284 Student Course Agreement
I have read and understood ALL clinical and class requirements for NUR 284 as set forth in the syllabus. In
particular, I have been informed of the following policy to obtain a passing grade in NUR 284.
Theory Grade-The theory grade will consist of Special Project/ Clinical case study, Clinical Care Plan, ATI Practice
Test, ATI Comprehensive and 3 tests (OB test, Peds test & Cumulative Final). In order to pass the course, the cumulative
average of the objective test grades must be 77.45% “C+” or greater. The ATI Practice and focused review, ATI
comprehensive, Special Project & Care Plan grade will be computed only if a passing grade is achieved on the objective
tests.
You understand that no clinical absences are allowed including clinical conference days as scheduled on your
course schedule. An absence from clinical will result in the inability to evaluate the student’s clinical performance and the
inability to meet clinical objectives resulting in a clinical failure.
