Undergraduate Academic
Policy
Grades of Incomplete
1. A grade of Incomplete is reserved for special cases, not for
extra time to complete a project or course.
2. Students must arrange, in writing, with the instructor for the
Incomplete.
3. The student must complete the Incomplete grade no later than
the following semester.
4. In justifying the Incomplete to a letter grade, the faculty member
must indicate the reason to justify the change - a simple statement
such as "recording error" is insufficient.

WF
or UW
Students who exhibit an excessive rate of unexcused absences may
receive a grade of WF or UW for the semester. If the course is required,
the student must re-register for that course and pay for it in full
the following semester.

Attendance
The instructor establishes the attendance policy in all classes.
Responsibility for class attendance rests with the student.
In all cases the work missed through absences must be made up. Permission
to make up such work is not automatic and is given at the discretion
of the instructor.

Absences
from Examinations (Mid-Term or Final), and/or Presentations
Students who are absent from any examinations or presentations must:
1. Notify their instructors and Dean within 48 hours by letter,
e-mail, telegram or FAX of the reason for the absence with necessary
documentation.
2. Apply in writing within five (5) days to the instructor for permission
to take a deferred examination or to make a presentation. The deferred
examination(s)/presentation is granted as a privilege, not as a
right. It may be permitted only to a student who complies with the
notification regulations as indicated, whose work during the semester
has been satisfactory and whose reason for missing the exam/presentation
is accepted.

Course
Requirements
Students must take their major courses as prescribed by the plan
of study. Courses should not be taken out of sequence, with all
prerequisites being completed before the advance courses are taken.
In exceptional cases,
the instructor and chairperson may give permission for a student
to take courses out of sequence.
