Incomplete Grades

An "I" Grade:

An incomplete grade may be requested by a student or initiated by the faculty with the approval of the Dean when a student is unable to complete the coursework because of illness, serious injury or other circumstances beyond the student's control.  An "I" may be assigned if at least three quarters of the course has been completed within the term grading period and the student has maintained a consistent rate of progress in the course.  Failure to appear for a final exam or to complete coursework in the time allowed is not justification for an incomplete. The students will complete part A of the Incomplete Grade Record which identifies the reason for the incomplete. The faculty member fills out part B of the Incomplete Grade Record which outlines the requirements for successful completion of the course.  Faculty will complete the incomplete form after the last day of class; set the date for completion within a 30 day time limit; and, will distribute the form to the Registrar and Financial Aid Office.  The student and instructor will also retain copies.

An incomplete grade must be remove not later than 30 days after the course has ended.  Students who do not complete the course in the designated time will receive a grade of "F" which will be recorded on the student's transcript.  A student who requests an incomplete for health reasons, may have to take a medical leave if unable to meet the deadline of 30 days.  Student who are in a weekend class must make up the missed class day in the next semester.  Any course with an incomplete grade that is a prerequisite for a nursing course must be completed before enrolling in the nursing course. The due date for removal of the incomplete grade ( "I" ) must be met whether or not the student is currently enrolled in College courses. In the event the instructor from whom a student receives an incomplete grade ( "I" ) is not on campus, the disposition of the grade will be made by the Dean.
