VII. Deficiencies

B. Removal of Deficiencies

  1. If a grade of I (incomplete) is assigned in a course, the incomplete must be removed and the grade change reported by the end of the student's next term in residence or, if the student has not been enrolled, by the end of the term one calendar year from the date the incomplete was assigned. Failing to remove the I in the allotted time will result in the I being changed to the grade of F . To remove the incomplete, the student should consult with the instructor as soon as possible after the term is over and complete whatever remaining work is outlined by the instructor. Repeating the course for credit does not remove the grade of I .
  2. A student who has a failure in a required course must schedule that course the next time it is offered while the student is in residence. When a course in which a “D” grade was earned is repeated and a grade of “F” is earned, the student must file a Petition to the Faculty to be allowed to use the “D” grade to meet graduation requirements.
  3. A degree candidate who has a single course deficiency from the final term of enrollment will be permitted a re-examination, except in laboratory or studio courses, courses in which a significant portion of the grade is based upon projects, or when the deficiency is in any way a result of academic dishonesty. The re-examination will be given after commencement, and thereafter once per annum after commencement, upon receipt of the reactivated degree petition for the next term, and authorization of the exam, by the Registrar. A student should schedule the re-examination prior to the last day of Phase II registration to allow time to register for the course during the next semester if the student does not pass the re-examination and chooses to retake the course. The examination will be graded S or U and the grade so recorded. The previously assigned grade will remain a part of the record and a notation will be made on the student's transcript that the course requirement was satisfied by a re-examination. The student who successfully completes the re-examination will then be eligible to graduate the following term and may obtain a letter of completion from the registrar.
  4. A degree candidate who has otherwise completed all requirements for graduation and who has an incomplete in laboratory work taken during his or her final term in residence may remove the incomplete at the convenience of the department of instruction concerned.
