3357:10-5-61. Incomplete grades
-
(A) A Marion technical college student must submit a written request to his or her instructor for an "incomplete" grade before the end of the term in which he or she is enrolled in the course, and prior to the time that grades are due to the office of student records. At the instructor's discretion, a student will be issued a grade of incomplete ("I") if:
(1) The student's course work is satisfactory ("C" or better), but for legitimate and acceptable reasons, a relatively small amount (twenty-five per cent or less) remains to be completed; and,
(2) The student's record justifies the expectation that a passing grade would have been earned if the student had completed all required course work.
(B) The student must complete all required coursework within the timeframe specified by the instructor. The extension may not exceed a six-week period following the beginning of the term subsequent to the one in which the "I" was recorded, (e.g., a student who receives an "I" in spring term has six weeks into the following summer term to complete required course work, etc.).
Under exceptional circumstances and with the instructor's approval, the student may petition in writing to the academic program dean or director for additional time to complete the required course work. The time granted normally does not exceed the end of the subsequent term in which the "I" was recorded.
(C) The academic program dean or director's decision is final in all matters concerning extensions to complete course work.
(D) If the student fails to complete required course work within the time allowed, his or her grade will be calculated based upon the total work completed for the course.
(E) Until the registrar records the student's final grade, the credit hours for the incomplete course shall not be counted or considered in the calculation of the student's grade point average or in the determination of satisfactory academic progress for financial aid.
(F) A student may register for a subsequent course that has as a prerequisite, or is a sequence of, the course for which an "I" has been recorded only if authorization is obtained from the academic program dean or director.
(G) Upon course completion, the instructor shall report the student's final course grade to the registrar at the earliest possible time within the time allowed the student to complete the required course work.
(H) If the instructor does not submit the final course grade within the time allowed, the registrar shall notify the academic program dean or director, who will arrange for the submission of the grade as expeditiously as possible.
(I) The registrar shall record the student's final course grade on his or her official transcript and notify the student.
