Policy Statement
A student who is doing satisfactory work but, for non-academic reasons beyond his/her control is unable to meet the full requirements of the course, may be assigned an incomplete (“I”) grade. An electronic Justification for Incomplete Grades form must be completed to assign the incomplete grade. A student who has received an “I” grade has one additional semester, including summer, to complete the required work and to receive a final grade. A grade change form is required to remove the incomplete and assign the final grade. Any incomplete grade not removed after the next semester will be converted to an “F” grade.
