To initiate consideration for an “I” grade, the student must file a Request for Incomplete Grade Form with his or her instructor prior to the end of the course. An instructor may complete the Request for Incomplete Grade Form on the student’s behalf if the student is prevented from filing the request due to medical emergency or other similarly unusual circumstances.
When a grade of “I” is assigned, the instructor shall complete the Request for Incomplete Grade Form received from the student. On that form, the instructor shall provide a detailed description of the work to be completed by the student. The instructor will also provide the grade that the student will receive should the work not be completed by the deadline in XII.I.3 above. The instructor shall provide a copy of the completed Request for Incomplete Grade Form to the student and to the chair/dean. The chair/dean will retain a copy of this document in the unit file. The completed Request for Incomplete Grade Form will accompany the Grade Change Form upon completion of the minor requirement that necessitated the “I” grade.
In the event that the instructor who assigned the “I” grade is no longer with the University, the chair of the academic area where the “I” grade was assigned, or his or her designee, will work with the student to complete the minor requirement that necessitated the “I” grade.
All grade changes must be processed within one semester from the time the original grade was recorded. These grade changes will be permitted only when there was an error in recording or calculating the grade.
K. Appealing a Course Grade (see Section XXII.F.).
The University encourages high standards of academic excellence and acknowledges students’ academic achievement. An Academic Honor Roll and Dean’s List are published at the end of each academic semester. A student who earns 12 or more semester credit hours for which quality points are awarded and whose grade-point average is 3.2 or better, will be included on the Dean’s List.
Part-time (at least one-half time) students are given special recognition for academic achievement. Students enrolled in 6 to 11 semester credit hours in which quality points are earned and whose grade-point average is 3.2 or better, will be included on the Academic Honor Roll.

On the 13th day of classes, the Office of the Registrar will distribute class rosters to the faculty. Instructors will then verify the names of students who have attended at least one class meeting. Students who have never attended a class meeting will be administratively withdrawn and have all applicable charges reversed. Students who have attended at least one class meeting but have stopped attending are subject to the attendance policies enumerated in the Class Attendance section (XIX). This policy does not apply to the summer session.
If a student withdraws from a course before the end of the tenth full week of classes during a semester, a grade of “W” will appear on the student’s transcript.
If a student withdraws from a course before two-thirds of the instructional days have elapsed during a summer session or short course, a grade of “W” will appear on the student’s transcript.
A student who fails to follow proper University withdrawal procedures will receive a grade of “F” in that course.
Students may appeal for retroactive withdrawal from a course under specified circumstances (see Section XXII.G.).
A student who has preregistered but not completed registration (i.e., paid fees or made arrangements for the payment of fees) may cancel his/her registration by notifying the Office of the Registrar in writing prior to the end of late registration of his/her intention not to enroll.
In order to withdraw from the University after completion of registration (i.e., dropping all courses for a given semester/session), a student must do the following:
Obtain the necessary form from the Office of the Registrar.
Complete the form and obtain the necessary signatures.
Return the completed form to the Office of
