Incomplete Grade

If a student who has completed the majority of the requirements of a course is unable to complete that course because of documented compelling circumstances, he or she may request that the instructor award a grade of "I." It is up to the instructor to accept or deny the request based on the student's progress in the course and the seriousness of the circumstances which prevent the student from completing it. An approval of the College Dean may be required.

To earn credit for the course, the student must successfully complete all remaining requirements within the course, as specified by the instructor. The instructor must then submit a change of grade for the student. For incomplete grades earned in the Fall semester, the deadline for successful completion of all course requirements and submission of the grade change by the faculty will be the following March 1st. For Spring and Summer semesters, the deadline for successful completion of all course requirements and submission of the grade change by the faculty will be the following October 15th.

If a student is on academic probation and receives an "I" for a course, he or she will not be able to enroll in additional courses in the academic program until the course is completed and a grade is assigned, except if granted explicit permission by the program director, or chair.

Prior to the stated deadline, the student may request a renewal of the incomplete grade. Official renewal of an incomplete grade may be granted only with permission of the faculty and approval of the College Dean. Failure to meet the stated deadline or obtain an official renewal of the incomplete grade will result in an automatic grade change from "I" to "IF," with zero credit granted for the course.
