Incomplete Grades

The School of Nursing expects you to complete coursework in a timely manner. An “incomplete” grade is assigned at the discretion of the course instructor when, due to extraordinary circumstances, you are prevented from completing the work of the course on time. First, faculty and student meet to discuss if an incomplete grade is warranted. If it is warranted, faculty follow the SoN Incomplete Grade Procedure. The faculty member teaching the course completes an incomplete contract with you and disperses copies of the contract to the you, your academic advisor, and the program director.

The Graduate Admissions and Progressions Committee reviews student progression according to established school policy. An incomplete grade may impact progression in sequential courses. You will have one calendar year from end of term to end of term to complete incomplete coursework. Failure to complete coursework in one calendar year may result in the incomplete converting to an F or N grade. (Note that a contract for an incomplete grade established by a course instructor that you agree to may require completion of the course within a specific time frame that is less than one calendar year.)
