Merritt College nursing program continues on board's noncompliance watch; committee accepts report as information
Committee members received an update on Merritt College's associate degree nursing program, which remains in noncompliance following a continuing approval visit in 2023. Mary Anne McCarthy, supervising nursing education consultant, reported that Merritt has been on warning status since August 2025, has returned quarterly to the committee, has hired a new program director in July 2025, and voluntarily held admissions for the fall term to focus on supporting current students.

The committee determined the update could be received as information only and did not take formal action. McCarthy said Merritt will continue to return to the Education and Licensing Committee until the program demonstrates full compliance; the committee and staff said they were encouraged by the program's efforts but that periodic monitoring will continue.

No public commenters spoke on this item and no motions or votes were taken.
