Examination and Remediation Policy
HESI Examination and Remediation Policy (Active until May 2026 for current student cohort)
The Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) Program at Ogeechee Technical College utilizes HESI exams throughout the curriculum to assess students’ progress, identify strengths and weaknesses, and guide remediation. These exams are used as a formative evaluation tool and are designed to support student readiness for the NCLEX-RN.
Course-Level HESI Exams
In each of the core nursing courses, students are administered a corresponding HESI exam to assess course-related content mastery.
- Students are provided two (2) attempts per HESI exam.
- The highest score of the two attempts is recorded in the course gradebook.
- Students are not required to achieve a minimum score to pass the course.
- All students must complete HESI remediation using the assigned HESI specialty packets and case studies regardless of their score.
- Remediation must be completed by the designated due date set by course faculty in order to be eligible for the second attempt (if applicable).

- The highest score achieved across the four attempts will be recorded in the gradebook.

- If this score is not achieved by the last attempt, the highest score will be placed in the gradebook.
Remediation Requirements for Exit Exam
