Grade Reports
Grade reports are
issued at the end of each semester and the summer (3 times per
year). A copy is sent to the student’s department and to the
person(s)/agencies who are sponsoring the student in school.
Students may also view the intranet for their grades.
Upon receipt of a
grade report, students should review it carefully for any errors or
omissions. Should any corrections be necessary, they must be made
within two weeks of the issuing of the report. The instructor
involved should go in person to the office of university records,
inform the director of the corrections needed and complete the
“change of grade voucher”.
Incomplete
Grades
Incomplete grades
are granted only in an emergency situation beyond a student’s
control.
An Incomplete is
not given for:
a.
completion of less than 75% of the class requirements (exclusive of
final examinations.
b. failure
of the final examination
c. absence
from the final examination for other than an emergency situation or
as approved by the Academic Board
d. a low
grade to be raised with extra work.
A student must
request an incomplete grade from the instructor by completing the
Petition to Receive Incomplete Grade form and state the reason
for the request.
The student should
then obtain required signatures and file the form with the
instructor. If approved, the instructor will report the incomplete
grade on the grade report as well as the grade which the student
will receive if the deficiency is not removed within the time
limit. The student’s credit load will be reduced in the next
semester/session to allow completion of outstanding work.
Additional instructions are cited on the form.
