A grade of “Incomplete” is assigned only in instances where work is not completed because of serious illness, accidence, death in the immediate family, etc. Before an “I” grade can be given, the appropriate form must be completed by the student and approved by the faculty member, the Program Director, and the Dean of the appropriate college. Courses in which a student received a grade of “I” must be completed within 60 calendar days from the last day of final exams; otherwise, the grade becomes an “F”. The responsibility rests with the student completing the work within the allotted time. The grade of “I” does not count as credit ours earned and may in some circumstances influence a student’s eligibility for financial aid.
