3. An incomplete grade may be issued to a student who has not completed all of the assignments due to extenuating circumstances. The incomplete must be satisfied by the end of the following semester or it becomes an F grade. Only a grade of A, B, C, D, or F can replace an incomplete when the student completes his/her assignment(s).
4. No grade should be changed after grades have been verified for the semester. Grade changes may only be considered due to clerical error or extenuating circumstances. Requests for a change in grade must be made within one semester. If a student believes a grade is incorrect, the student should contact the faculty member. If a grade change is agreed upon, then the instructor will submit a Student Grade Change Request form on behalf of the student. All grade change requests are reviewed by the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs.
