Incomplete Grades In Academic Courses:

 

If the ASC ­finds that you have an incomplete grade(s), a letter will be sent to you calling your attention to the grade and indicating the University and Departmental policy for making-up incompletes. A copy of the letter will be placed in your Departmental file.

 

An incomplete grade will be assigned for incomplete work in an academic course, or for clinical work in which clinical hours or clinical activities have not been completed. You may receive an "I" or a "Q" at the discretion of the instructor. An "I" will automatically become an "F" at the end of the first month of a subsequent regular academic semester (summer semesters excepted) if the "I" grade has not been officially changed (An "Incomplete Extension Form" may be completed at the discretion of the instructor). If you receive a "Q", the time for grade change is extended to the end of a subsequent regular academic term. When a "Q" is assigned you must re-register, take, and pay for the course in question during the semester in which the course is offered. The grade which you earn for this second attempt will be recorded as the grade for the course and will be used for GPA computation.

 

If you have received an incomplete grade(s) it is your responsibility to assure that the incomplete grade(s) is officially changed through the use of a University change of grade report form. Although it is the responsibility of the instructor who assigned the incomplete grade to change the grade, fill out and sign the change of grade report, it remains your responsibility to be sure that all of the necessary work and form completions have been accomplished in order to assure that an "F" will not automatically be assigned.

 

Grades In Clinical Practica Courses:

 

Students who receive one clinical practicum grade of “C” or lower during a specific semester must repeat that clinical practicum during the next semester in which the clinical practicum is offered or at a time indicated by the clinical or graduate program director. Students who receive a total of two clinical practica grades of “C” or lower either in the same or in subsequent semesters will be dismissed from the program.

 

Students who receive or are in danger of receiving a grade of “C” or lower in a clinical practicum course will be referred to the Departmental Clinical Support Panel. The Support Panel will provide support for the student in the form of a plan designed to aid the student in successful completion of clinical activities.
