'''Finding.''' According to the tracker, the reporter states that after returning home she learned that because the two validations were not completed before the intensive ended, Herzing determined she had failed NSG 122 and must repeat the course and the intensive. She notes she had passed her Fundamentals HESI with a score of 1225 and had successfully completed many other required skills, and that her concern was never about refusal or unwillingness to complete the work but about not being given the opportunity to finish.

'''Evidence.''' Anonymous reporter (Anonymous member 443), Herzing Direct Entry MSN Facebook group, provided by the reporting student, describing the course-failure determination and mandatory repeat, and the reporter's statement of her HESI score of 1225 and completion of other skills as evidence of engagement.

'''Reported statement.''' The reporter, Anonymous member 443, states she learned that Herzing determined she failed NSG 122 and must repeat the course and the intensive because the two validations were not completed before the intensive ended, and that her concern is not being given the opportunity to finish the final two validations before the intensive ended.

'''Standards.''' Raises concerns under administrative-capability expectations (34 CFR 668.14), HLC Criterion 2.A (fair and consistent academic standards), and ACEN Standard 4.6 (evaluation methodologies). Imposing a course failure and mandatory repeat where the non-completion is traceable to the program's own scheduling structure and resource constraints, rather than the student's performance or conduct, is a program-integrity and fairness concern. Recorded for review. Lead: {{HU|HU-165}}.

'''Impact.''' If accurate, the reporter faces repeating a full course and a full intensive, with the associated time, academic-standing, and financial consequences, for a failure attributable to the program's design rather than her performance.

'''Notes.''' Sub-issue of {{HU|HU-165}} (lead). Reporter states she passed the Fundamentals HESI with a score of 1225 and completed many other required skills. Reported account, unverified. Documented 2026-06-06.
