An incomplete grade (“I”) may be given to a student only in the event of serious illness or justifiable hardship. It cannot be given to give a student more time to complete a course. Before an incomplete grade can be given, the appropriate form must be completed by the faculty member stating the justification for the grade signed by the student and be approved by the school or college Dean.
The courses in which a student received a grade of “I” must be completed within 60 calendar days following the term in which an “I” was received; otherwise, these grades become “F”. The responsibility rests with the student to complete the required work within the allotted time.
The grade of “I” does not count as credit hours earned and may in some circumstances affect a student’s eligibility for financial aid, as well as disqualify a student to be eligible for the President’s List or Dean’s List.
