INCOMPLETE AND EXCUSED GRADES

If a student is unable, for a satisfactory reason such as illness, to complete the work in a given course, the student will receive either a grade of "Incomplete" or "Excused" for that course. "Incomplete" grades must be made up by the beginning of the fourth block following the block in which the "Incomplete" was recorded, unless the instructor sets a shorter time limit for completion of the prescribed work. If an "Incomplete" is not made up within the prescribed time, the Registrar will automatically convert it to a grade of "No Credit."

After the second Tuesday of the course, students who want to drop a course must petition for a grade of "Excused" by submitting a form to the instructor and the Registrar. Normally, a grade of "Excused" will not be approved unless the student is passing and there are extenuating circumstances, such as illness or injury, which have affected the student's progress in the course. The student must state a specific reason for requesting an "Excused," and the instructor's recommendation must be recorded. The Registrar will make the final decision and notify the Dean of the College.

If a student does not complete the work in a course, and has no satisfactory excuse, or does not meet the minimum standards set by the instructor, the instructor will give the student a grade of "No Credit."
