Grades and Grading Financial Aids Incompletes—An Incomplete may be given by an instructor in a class when the student is unable to complete the classwork for legimate reason and, in the opinion of the instructor, can complete the required work of the course without re-registering for the class. The required work must be completed and a grade reported to the Registrar's Office within a 12-month period following the receipt of the I-Incomplete. For good reasons, a student may petition the Admissions, Credits and Graduation Committee for additional time to complete the work. Generally, an extension will not be longer than one additional quarter. Any extension of time authorized beyond the 12-month period following the receipt of the Incomplete will be specifically shown on the petition. If the petition is approved, copies of the authorization should be sent to the appropriate department and instructor. When the instructor gives an Incomplete, he must file a Report of Incomplete with his department, specifying what must be done for removal of the Incomplete. The report should be made in triplicate, one copy for the Registrar's Office, one for Department, and one for the student. An Incomplete remains on the official transcript unless made up within the 12-month period following the receipt of the Incomplete or within an approved extension of time. An Incomplete grade will not be used when calculating GPA. Repeat Courses—A student may repeat a course in which he has received a low grade. The original grade will remain on the record. When a class has been repeated, the grade earned the last time the course is taken is the grade used in calculation of the student's grade point average. A student repeating a course must notify the Registration Office. Changing of Grades—Grades entered with the Records Office shall be unalterable except when written explanation to the Admission, Credits and Graduation Committee is expressly made by the teacher concerned. Grade changes are permitted only when there has been error in the computing or recording of grades. Make-up Examinations—No make-up examinations are allowed except on (1) the approval of the class instructor, (2) the payment of a one-dollar fee to the Treasurer, and (3) the presentation of the receipt of such payment to the instructor concerned.
