Incompletes

An “IP” grade may be assigned by an instructor if a student has made satisfactory progress in a course with the exception of a major quiz, final exam, or other project. The “IP” grade may also be assigned for extenuating circumstances beyond a student’s control such as personal illness, death in the immediate family, military orders, or in the case of distance learning courses, technology failures and mail delays. Notice of absences with supporting documentation may be required by the instructor. Students should notify instructors in advance of absences whenever possible. The instructor makes the final decision concerning the granting of the incomplete grade. The instructor may set a deadline for completing the remaining course requirements. In no case will the deadline exceed 110 days after the scheduled end of the course. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange with the instructor for the assignment of work necessary to complete the course and to change the “IP” within the time specified. An “IP” grade cannot be replaced by the grade of “W”. If a student elects to repeat the course, the student must register, pay full tuition and fees and repeat the entire course.

At the end of the 110 calendar days any unresolved “IP” will be converted to an “FI” and appear as an “F” on the student’s official transcript.

The IP grade is not used for developmental study courses and designated nontraditional, modular courses.
