GRADING PROCESS

POLICIES ON INCOMPLETES

a. "The Faculty strongly discourages incompletes. The requirements for all courses and their time parameters are to be clearly delineated in each course, as well as those conditions under which an incomplete request may be considered." (Faculty Council 5/19/76)

In a very few courses it may be impossible for students to complete a consultation, test protocols, etc., for reasons beyond the student's control. In such limited cases, or for severe health or family problems, a student may request an extension of time to finish course requirements.

School & Organizational students who have any outstanding Incompletes may not take more than 16 credits until the Incomplete is satisfactorily completed.

The chair will not sign off on the internship application until all incomplete grades are removed.(Clinical Faculty 2/8/99)

b. Under rare circumstances a further extension may be considered as follows: Students must give a written request to the course instructor before the deadline date, specifying the reason for an extension and suggesting a new time deadline. If the instructor does not give approval, a grade of "F" will be recorded unless work is completed and received by deadline date.

If the instructor gives written approval for an extension:
Students matriculated in the Applied Psychology department must give the original copy of the signed approved request to the Associate Dean's Office and one copy to the Program Administrator to be filed in the student's folder.

c. This policy on incompletes does not apply to Dissertation credits. (Approved unanimously by the Faculty Council 11/07/94)

d. A course may not be changed from regular credits to an audit beyond the 5th class meeting. It cannot be changed after the end of the semester.
