Incompletes
The Institute policy regarding incompletes can be found in the catalog under the Grading Policy.
If an incomplete grade is posted for a course, continuing into the next semester with an incomplete requires approval of the Committee on Academic Policies and Procedures by petition. After the student consults with the faculty member assigning the incomplete grade, the petition should include not only a request to continue into the next semester but also the strategy for clearing the incomplete and a proposed date by which the incomplete will be cleared. If the requirements for the incomplete are not made up within the stipulated time period, the “I” grade will automatically convert to an “F” grade. Under these circumstances, students will not be permitted to continue with subsequent courses and will be required to drop courses for which the failed course is a prerequisite.
