2.6.3 Incompletes

A student who does not complete all requirements for a course may coordinate with instructor(s) for a temporary grade of Incomplete. Students must complete all course requirements to change an incomplete grade according to the timeline stipulated by the professor. If a student does not complete the required work within the stipulated time period, the instructor will change the incomplete to a grade. The student will be notified in writing of any grade changes.

If an Incomplete grade is posted for a course that is a prerequisite to a course in the following semester, the Incomplete must be made up within two weeks of the start of that second course. If the requirements for the Incomplete are not made up within the stipulated time period, the “I” grade will automatically convert to an “F” grade. Under these circumstances, students will not be permitted to continue with subsequent courses, and they will be asked to drop courses for which the failed course is a prerequisite.

If the student has received an incomplete grade in a clinical experience, and has not completed the required clinical education course within the stipulated time period, s/he must petition the Program faculty to continue into the next academic semester.
