An Incomplete grade is not intended to replace poor academic performance, inadequate preparation, excessive absences, or failure to complete coursework resulting from preventable circumstances. Assignment of an Incomplete grade is not automatic and remains at the discretion of the Course Director, following consultation with the Program Director or designated academic administrator. Eligibility To be considered for an Incomplete grade, a student must generally: ● Have successfully completed at least 75% of the course requirements. ● Be earning a passing grade at the time the request is made. ● Have demonstrated satisfactory academic engagement and professionalism. ● Have a reasonable expectation of successfully completing the remaining coursework. ● Experience documented circumstances beyond the student’s control that prevent completion of the remaining course requirements. Students who are failing a course at the time of the request are generally not eligible for an Incomplete grade unless exceptional circumstances exist and approval is granted by the Program Director. Approval Process Requests for an Incomplete grade should be initiated as soon as the student becomes aware of the circumstances affecting course completion. Approval requires consultation among: ● Student ● Course Director ● Program Director (or designee) The Course Director shall determine whether the remaining course requirements can be completed without compromising course learning outcomes, competency assessment, or student progression. When appropriate, supporting documentation may be requested. Completion Agreement
