incomplete: the grade of i
The grade of I (Incomplete) is an exceptional mark given
only to students whose work in a course has been satisfactory
but who for reasons beyond their control have been unable
to complete all the requirements of a course. The following
criteria must be met:
G The student must have completed at least 60 percent of
the work in the course with a grade of C or better
G The incomplete must be requested before the end of the
course
The procedure for awarding the grade of I is as follows:
G The student must ask the faculty member for an
incomplete (faculty members cannot award an incomplete
on their own initiative)
G The faculty member decides whether to grant the request
G The faculty member sets a date (no more than four
months after submitting the grade of I) for completion of
the remaining requirements of the course
G The faculty member and the student together agree on the
remaining requirements of the course and the deadline for
submitting the work
G The student is responsible for completing the work
G After the work is completed, the faculty member submits
a grade change to replace the grade of I on the student’s
record with the grade the student has earned
If the incomplete is not made up within four months or by
the agreed-upon deadline, the I is changed to an F. Students
should be aware that a grade of I in their final semester may
delay graduation.
The grade of I cannot be removed by means of credit by
examination, and it cannot be replaced by a grade of W
(defined below). Students who elect to repeat an incomplete
course must register again for the course, pay the full tuition
and applicable fees, and repeat the course. For purposes of
academic retention, the course grade is counted as an F. The
grade of I is not used in determining grade point averages.
Withdrawal: the grade of W
Students may receive the grade of W by officially withdrawing
from a course. Ceasing to attend class does not constitute an
official withdrawal. For purposes of academic retention, the
grade of W is counted as attempted hours. It is not used in
determining grade point averages. The W can be posted only
when a student drops a course through MyUMUC prior to
the last date for withdrawal. Students should confirm the last
date for withdrawal as the format (online or on-site) or class
location (Europe, Asia, Stateside) will determine the official
withdrawal dates.
students must follow the procedures presented in
the GoArmyEd portal.
Audit: Au
When a student audits a course, an AU is assigned. Any
course may be audited. Students who do not wish to
receive credit may register for courses as auditors after being
admitted. Students must indicate this intention when they
register. Students may request a change from credit to audit
status during the first week of class in an eight-week session.
Auditors pay the same fees as those taking the course(s) for
credit.
CHAngE oF gRAdE
With the exception of the I (Incomplete) and G, all grades
and marks are final and cannot be changed.
gRAding REPEAtEd CouRsEs
When a course is repeated, only the higher grade earned
in the two attempts is included in the calculation of the
grade point average. For purposes of academic retention,
both attempts are counted. Both grades are entered on the
permanent record, with a notation indicating that the course
was repeated. Students cannot increase the total hours earned
toward a degree by repeating a course for which a passing
grade was conferred previously.
To establish credit in a course previously failed or withdrawn
from, students must register, pay the full tuition and
applicable fees, and repeat the entire course successfully.
Students may not register more than twice for the same course
without the prior approval of the director, Student Affairs.
