* No quality points are assigned and these notations have no effect on a student's quality point average or index. To attain a grade of "P," a student must perform at a level equivalent to "C" or better.
** The Incomplete is reserved for those cases which are of an exceptional and/or serious nature. The Incomplete is not assigned in a case where failure to complete the course requirements, including the final examinations, on time is due to student delinquency and is not given to allow a student the opportunity to improve his/her work.
Ordinarily, it is the student's responsibility to request this grade from the instructor. The granting of this request is at the discretion of the instructor, and it is the student's responsibility to complete the course requirements within the time span set by the instructor.
When an incomplete is assigned, it is the responsibility of the instructor to provide a written statement to the Academic Dean indicating the requirement that is outstanding as well as the date by which it must be satisfied. This date may be no later than 2/3 of the way through the next regular session of the particular program. The "INC" becomes an "F" if the requirements are not satisfied within the assigned time limit. In the case of an unforeseen emergency, students should contact the Office of the Academic Dean.
Grades officially submitted to the Registrar are final. Requests for a change of grade necessitated by clerical, computational, or other documented error must be submitted in writing by the faculty member to the Assistant Academic Dean. The requested change will become effective when the approval of the Assistant Academic Dean has been filed with the Registrar.
Final grade reports are sent to the students as soon as possible after the grades have been reported to the Registrar's Office.
