Prior to assigning an Incomplete grade, the student and Course Director shall develop a written Completion Agreement that includes: ● Remaining assignments, examinations, laboratory activities, or clinical requirements ● Required methods of assessment ● Deadlines for completion ● Grading criteria ● Consequences of failing to complete the required work ● Required remediation, if applicable The Completion Agreement shall be maintained in the student’s academic record. Timeframe for Completion Unless otherwise specified by University policy or approved by the Pr ogram Director, students shall complete all remaining coursework within 90 calendar days after the assignment of the Incomplete grade. The Course Director may establish an earlier completion deadline when necessary to:
● Maintain cohort progression ● Protect sequential learning ● Preserve prerequisite requirements ● Ensure timely completion of clinical education
Failure to complete required coursework by the approved deadline will result in conversion of the Incomplete grade in accordance with University grading policies and may affect progression in the PA curriculum. Impact on Academic Progression Because the MSPAS curriculum is competency-based and sequential, an Incomplete grade may delay progression to subsequent courses or Supervised Clinical Practice Experiences (SCPEs). Students may not progress into courses requiring successful completion of prerequisite coursework until all prerequisite requirements have been satisfied. The Student Evaluation and Progress Committee (SEPC) shall review any progression concerns related to unresolved Incomplete grades and make recommendations to the Program Director regarding continued enrollment, remediation, or delayed progression.
