INCOMPLETE GRADE POLICY

A student unable to finish a course due to extenuating circumstances may submit a written request for a grade of Incomplete by submitting an Incomplete Grade Request Form. The course faculty and Dean of the program must approve the request for a grade of “I” to be entered. The student must complete the required work outlined on the Incomplete Grade Request Form by the established deadline set by the course faculty. Students will not be granted an Incomplete if at least 80% of the course has not been completed at the time of the request. Approval from the Office of Academic Affairs is required for any Incomplete Grade request that exceeds 14 days from the end of the course. At no time shall an incomplete grade exceed 15 weeks in length from the end of the course for which the incomplete grade was awarded. If work is not completed by the established deadline or the maximum 15 weeks in length, the student will receive an “F” for the course. Students may not typically take courses in a new term that have a prerequisite for the course graded “I.” Any exception to this policy may be granted only by the Office of Academic Affairs.
