Ifa student obtained a "NP" grade, he/she is required to repeat the course in order to graduate from theprogram in compliance with graduation requirements.INCOMPLETES POLICYBy incomplete, it should be understood that the student fails to complete the course requirements. Theincomplete will be accompanied by the grade the student had at the end of the session, counting as "0" or "F"the work not performed in the class. The removal of an incomplete must take place within the first six daysof the following academic session.
