It is the student's responsibility to complete all coursework within the prescribed time frames. Students may request a grade of Incomplete (“I”) at the end of a grading period if they are passing the course at that time and if the circumstances which are causing the student to request the Incomplete grade are beyond the student's control and prevent him/her from completing the required coursework by the last scheduled day of class. Students must request an Incomplete grade by submitting a completed Incomplete Grade Request Form to the course instructor. The student and the student's instructor will co-sign the form. The student is responsible for obtaining written approval from the Program Director before submitting the form to the Registrar.
All incomplete work must be completed and turned in for grading no later than 14 calendar days from the last day of the completed academic term. At that time, a grade of “0” (zero) will be issued for all work still missing and the course grade will be determined in accordance with the criteria published in the course syllabus. In no case may a nursing student progress to the next term with a grade of “Incomplete.”
Credits associated with courses in which an Incomplete grade is received will not count as either credits attempted, or minimum cumulative credits completed at the School. They bear no quality points and are not included in the calculation of CGPA.
Nursing Students
All incomplete coursework must be completed and submitted for grading within one calendar week from the last day of the completed academic term. Any coursework not completed in this timeframe will receive a grade of 0 (zero) and the course grade will be determined in accordance with the criteria published in the course syllabus. In no case may a nursing student progress to the next term with a grade of “Incomplete.”
Each student in the Nursing program is required to successfully complete a capstone course (PNR 207 or NUR 210) that includes a comprehensive competency exam. The capstone course is taken in the final term of the program.
Successful completion of the capstone course requires the student to achieve no less than the minimum required score on the comprehensive exam. The specific information about the comprehensive examination and required minimum score is in the course syllabus.
