No incomplete grades shall be reported unless the instructor and the student have conferred, the student has presented a sufficient reason why a course cannot be completed on schedule, and the instructor has assigned a date within the succeeding 12 months by which time all course requirements must be completed. No degree credit for incomplete courses will be granted unless the work is completed by the date assigned, which must be within one calendar year of the date on which the incomplete grade is reported. In the event that coursework remains incomplete on the assigned date or 12 months after the I grade has been awarded, whichever comes first, the I grade will be changed automatically and permanently to an F grade. Repeated courses do not receive credit toward graduation.
Students are responsible for the accuracy of their graduation applications.
