Instructions
Use this form to develop your Individual Success Plan (ISP) for each course. An individual
success plan maps out what you, the DNP Learner, needs to accomplish in order to be successful
in your current course and overall program of study. You will also share this with your mentor at
the beginning and end of each course so that they know what you need to accomplish.
Application based learning assignments are listed in the course syllabus with a Practice
Portfolio Statement requirement. This statement also serves as a reminder for you to complete a
weekly corresponding Case Log in Typhon. Any independent study assignments in this course
requires your collaboration with the course faculty and practice mentor early on to establish a
plan for

, successful completion of mutually identified and agreed upon deliverables (proof of completion)
and must relate to your current course objectives. Independent study assignments must be
submitted to your instructor via the Individual Forum if no drop box is available.
In order for you to successfully complete and graduate from the DNP Program you must meet
the following programmatic requirements: (1) completion of required practice immersion hours,
(2) completion of work associated with all DNP and GCU program competencies, (3)
successful defense and completion of your Direct Practice Improvement Project.
In this ISP, you will identify all of the objectives, tasks, and/or assignments relating to the
programmatic requirements you need to complete by the end of this course (minimum 50
practice immersion hours are built into the curriculum for each course). Specify the dates by
which you will complete each tasks and/or assignments. Your plan should include a self-
assessment of how you met all applicable GCU DNP Domains & Competencies (see Appendix
A). This information will be required as you enter your weekly Case Log.
ALL course assignments listing a ‘Practice Hours Portfolio’ statement must be included in the
ISP and are worth and recorded here as approximately 10 hours each. Actual clock hours are
recorded into Typhon. Note that required practice hours vary from learner to learner and is
determined by your MSN transcripts. Please contact your SSA for the number of practice
immersion hours required to complete your DNP program. This will assist you in creating a
customized ISP and practice hours plan for your entire DNP program of study. Some learners
will require more than the 50 practice immersion hours built into the coursework. It is your
responsibility to obtain this information and create a plan for your individual success.
Students who require more than 50 practice hours per course will need to create additional
independent study assignments that target the course objectives. You have the option to repeat a
course assignment using a different scenario/context or create one based upon the current course
objectives with your mentor and faculty input. Because practice settings and career goals vary,
this allows the learner to customize and make the most of their learning experiences while in the
DNP program at GCU.
General Requirements
Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment as it pertains to
deliverables due in this course:
• Review the DNP Program Milestones document in the DC Network listed under the tab

the DC Network.
• Determine what practice experiences you plan to seek in order to address each course objective.
