*Incomplete Grades

The conditional grade of “I” may be issued to a student having a passing average on all completed coursework but for a justified reason has been prevented from taking the final examination or completing other required coursework. The “I” becomes an “F” at the end of the Summer 2021 term, (on August 14^th, 2021) unless the student completes the balance of the coursework with a performance grade of “D” or higher. Re-enrollment in the course will not resolve the “I.” Students may be required to sign an agreement outlining the requirements to satisfactorily complete the course.

Enrollment into subsequent courses may be impacted by students not completing “I” coursework by registration deadline.

If a student completes the balance of the coursework and receives a letter grade prior to July 30^th, 2020, they may choose to replace that grade using of the Credit/No Credit option.
