Incomplete Coursework

University Policy

If for reasons acceptable to the instructor a student fails to take the final examination or to complete any other required work within a course, he or she receives the I grade. Within the time limit set by the individual school or college, the student must complete the course requirements. If the student does complete the course requirements, the I grade is replaced with the appropriate letter grade.

Sargent College Policy

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. Please be advised that Incomplete grades may have implications for financial aid awards.

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 permanently to an F grade.

Repeated courses do not receive credit toward graduation. The grade received for a repeated course does not replace the grade for the original course; both grades are computed into the student’s grade point average.
