ROOM ASSIGNMENTS
Only fully admitted, full time students can live on campus. Students receive room assignments in the
Residence Halls on a first come, first serve basis, depending upon the date your completed housing
application, housing contract, statement of understanding, medical form a long with the required $150.00
application/room damage fee is received and the availability of space. The application/room damage fee
is refunded upon termination of the housing contract if the student does not intend to return to the hall and
there are no damages/fines charged to the student.
All students who receive an on-campus room assignment must sign a Housing Contract and select a meal
plan for the duration of the academic school year (fall and spring semesters).
I - INCOMPLETE
An instructor, under extenuating circumstances, may submit a grade of “I" for students who have failed to
complete one or more requirements of a course by the end of the semester. Students must meet the
following criteria:
• successfully completed most of the course requirements and
• legitimate reason(s) for not completing all assignments must be accepted by the instructor.
Students are allowed one semester following the one in which the “I” is incurred (not including the
summer session) to complete the work and remove the incomplete grade. When submitting a grade of
“I”, the instructor must complete the Incomplete Grade Form by indicating the student’s full name, social
security number or student ID number, complete address and the course discipline code, section number,
semester and year. The instructor must provide the department chairperson with an explanation of the
incomplete grades, the requirements that must be met to complete the course satisfactorily, along with the
student’s academic history in the course and the grade the student will be assigned if all requirements are
not submitted by the end of the following semester. If the work has not been satisfactorily completed by
the end of the following semester, the student will receive a grade of “F”.
