“Incomplete” (I) Grades
To request an "I" grade, the student must submit the written petition to the course faculty no later than two (2) calendar days before the end of the term. A minimum of 50% of the course assignments must have been completed, and the student must be able to pass the class.
An "I" grade may only be issued in extenuating circumstances, as defined as beyond the student's control; examples are serious medical issues, bereavement, or government service (military or jury). The student must present supporting documentation to the course faculty when requesting the “I” grade. The course faculty would notify the student within 48 hours after receiving the written petition whether the “I” grade is granted.
Students should note that an "I" grade does not indicate the course is completed, meets the requirements for a degree, or prerequisite requirements. All Incomplete grades must be resolved within thirty (30) days from the date of the end of the term.
All "I" grades not resolved by the deadline will automatically convert to an "F" grade and the final grade would be calculated based on all grades earned. Please note an incomplete grade may delay program progression as some courses serve as pre-requisites to another.
For evaluated satisfactory academic progress, "I" grades are counted in attempted hours but are not used in any GPA calculations. When the "I" is converted to a final grade for the course, the grade is applied to the session in which the student took the course. The GPA is recalculated for the term, resulting in a revised GPA, subsequently satisfactory academic progress is re-evaluated.
