A semester officially ends on the date specified in the academic calendar. An Incomplete grade (I) can be granted only for reasons clearly beyond the student's control and under the following circumstances:
- the request must be made in writing by the student to the course faculty. It is the course faculty’s decision to accept/deny the request;
- the student’s request must be based on a serious illness or emergency preventing the student from completing the work for the course; and
- the student must have satisfactorily completed at least half the course work at the time the Incomplete is requested.
The final determination of the Incomplete grade is the responsibility of the course faculty. The Incomplete grade is calculated as an 'F' and therefore accrues no quality points. It is the student's responsibility to submit all the required work to the course faculty so that a grade may be substituted by the mid-point of the following semester. Work not submitted to the course faculty on time will result in the grade being converted to an 'F' at the mid-point of the following semester. The course faculty will submit a Grade Change form to the Dean for signature, which will be subsequently submitted to the Registrar Office. The School Dean, at the request of course faculty, can grant an extension.
