        Grade of Incomplete<\/em><\/p>\n

        \n
        • The final grade of Incomplete is granted at the discretion of the instructor; however, students must meet certain specific criteria before this grade accommodation is even possible to consider.<\/li>\n
        • The grade of Incomplete is reserved for times when students experience a serious extenuating circumstance or a crisis during the last week of class which prevents the completion of course requirements before the close of the grading period. Students also must pass the course at the time the request is made.<\/li>\n
        • Please contact me personally if you are having difficulties in meeting course requirements or class deadlines during our time together. In addition, if you are experiencing personal challenges or difficulties, it is best to contact the Academic Counselor so that you can discuss the options that might be available to you, as well as each option\u2019s academic and financial repercussions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          • However, after we have discussed individual assignments\u2019 point scores, if you still believe that the final grade you have earned at the end of the course is not commensurate with the quality of work you produced for this class, there is a\u00a0formal Grade Grievance procedure<\/u>which is outlined in the GCU Catalog and Student Handbook.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
