Incomplete Grades

An incomplete grade may be given to a student only if the following conditions exist:

  1. The student has attended more than half of the regularly scheduled class sessions and is making satisfactory progress.
  2. The student is unable to complete the class
  3. The student will be able to complete the work outside of class

If these conditions are not present, the student will be given a grade of “F” . If an instructor does assign an incomplete grade, the instructor must submit an Incomplete Grade Form to the Vice President of Academic Affairs and give a copy to the student specifying what requirements need to be completed and the timeframe for completion.
