In terms 1-5, incomplete grades are given when course requirements have not been completed due to serious mitigating circumstances. This “I” designation remains on the transcript until a final course grade is given upon the completion of remaining course requirements. Should a student with an “I” fail to take the scheduled Completion Examination, the Sr. Associate Dean of Basic Sciences must approve the reason supporting the extension of the “I” designation. The “I” designation must be resolved prior to registration for the next term. If not resolved, the “I” designation will be converted to an “F” designation, and the APRC will review the academic status of the student.
In the clinical terms, an Incomplete (“I”) designation is given when additional clinical work/remediation is required to complete the course. The “I” designation remains on the transcript until a final course grade is given upon completion of remaining course requirements.
Students who withdraw from or are dismissed by SGU will have their "Incomplete" grades in clinical studies converted to a "Withdrawal" grade. Since the student did not finish all components required for the final grade and cannot complete them due to withdrawal or dismissal, the grade will be updated to a "W." Students should consult the Clinical Training Manual for further details.
