The President or his designee may authorize extension of established time limits. It indicates that work is in progress and has been evaluated and found to be satisfactory to date, but that assignment of a precise grade must await completion of additional work. Cumulative enrollment in units attempted may not exceed the total number applicable to the student's educational objective.
Work is to be completed within one year except for graduate degree theses.

Permission to withdraw during this time shall be granted only with the approval of the instructor and the Department Chairman or Dean. All requests to withdraw under these circumstances and all approvals shall be made in writing on forms prescribed by the campus.
