It is the student's responsibility to complete all coursework within the prescribed time frames. Students may request a grade of Incomplete (“I”) at the end of a grading period if they are passing the course at that time and if the circumstances which are causing the student to request the Incomplete grade are beyond the student's control and prevent him/her from completing the required coursework by the last scheduled day of class. Students must request an Incomplete grade by submitting a completed Incomplete Grade Request Form to the course instructor. The student's instructor will co-sign the form with the student and is responsible for obtaining approval signature from the Program Director or Dean of Nursing before turning the form into the Registrar for recording.
All incomplete work must be completed and turned in for grading no later than 14 calendar days from the last day of the completed academic term. At that time, a grade of 0 (zero) will be given for all work still missing and the course grade will be determined in accordance with the criteria published in the course syllabus.
Credits associated with courses in which an Incomplete grade is received will not count as either credits attempted or Minimum Cumulative Credits Completed at the College. They bear no quality points and are not included in the calculation of CGPA.
Nursing Students
All incomplete coursework must be completed and submitted for grading within one calendar week from the last day of the completed academic term. Any coursework not completed in this timeframe will receive a grade of 0 (zero) and the course grade will be determined in accordance with the criteria published in the course syllabus. In no case may a nursing student progress to the next term with a grade of “Incomplete.”
Online Courses
Students request an Incomplete by contacting the instructor prior to the last day of the completed academic term. The online instructor will submit the form to online leadership and the online leadership will review and, if appropriate, approve the Incomplete. The student must submit all incomplete work no later than 14 days after the last day of the completed academic term and notify the online instructor when the incomplete work has been completed.
Students in online nursing courses will follow the incomplete policy for Nursing Students.
