Registration for Make-Up of Incomplete Grades

 If a student receives an Incomplete (grade of I) in a course, the student is expected to complete the requirements for the course and earn a final grade in a timely manner.  The completion of assignments for the removal of an Incomplete should routinely take place during the academic term immediately following the term when the student received the Incomplete.

1. No individual may engage in clinical or laboratory activities for the purposes of completing the requirements of a course in which he or she has an Incomplete unless the individual is registered as a student at the Medical College of Georgia.
   • Students who are progressing through the normal curriculum in their program of study and are registered for the normal course load expected of students in their program may complete work for the removal of an Incomplete without registering for an additional course.
   
   
   • Students who wish to remove an Incomplete by completing the required assignments during a term that they would not normally be taking classes must be registered as a student if the required assignments include clinical or laboratory activities.
2. Registration as a student requires enrollment in a course and payment of appropriate tuition and fees.


3. If a student has an Incomplete in a course, the student may not be re-registered in that course for the purpose of meeting the requirement to be registered while making up the Incomplete; to do so would result in the student being awarded credit twice for the same course.


4. Students who must return to school after their expected graduation date in order to complete assignments for the removal of an Incomplete in a course must be registered as a student if the assignments include any clinical or laboratory activities.


5. Individuals may make up an Incomplete without being registered as a student if the activities required for the course in question do not involve clinical or laboratory activities.


6. Each degree program shall establish a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory graded independent study course for a minimum of one credit hour that will be used to meet the requirements of this policy.
