C. Failing Grades and Incompletes

1.  Failing grades
Students must pass all courses within the curriculum to be eligible for graduation. When a failing grade is received, an F is recorded. The student must be re-registered in the course before a passing grade can be earned. Each course syllabus will state the criteria for satisfactorily repeating a course that has been failed. Students must participate in additional learning experiences under the supervision of the course director prior to receiving a final grade for the second attempt of a course that was previously failed. Promotion to the next year of the curriculum is precluded until all courses in the preceding year have been completed with a passing grade.

2.  Incompletes
If a student receives an Incomplete (grade of I), the course director will notify the student in writing of the time limitations and requirements to remove the I, subject to approval by the Student Academic Review Committee and the Dean. When the student completes the course, the course director is responsible for submitting the grade earned by the student to replace the I. Grade changes should be submitted within 3 days of course completion. Any I grade not replaced by an earned grade within the next two semesters in residence following the assignment of the I will be changed to a grade of F. Promotion to the next year of the curriculum is precluded until all Incomplete grades have been removed. Responsibility for monitoring resolution of I grades rests with the Chair of the Student Academic Review Committee.
