Please refer to the chart on page 13. A grade of "Incomplete" will be issued when a student has not satisfactorily completed the required assignments within a given module. An "Incomplete" grade must be resolved prior to the completion of the next module or prior to graduation, whichever comes first. In the event an assignment is not completed, an evaluation of zero will be awarded and factored in to the overall grade for that module.

In the event a student's attendance and/or grades are clearly going to fall below the required minimum, the student may be advised at that time, receive a probation warning letter and/or be placed on immediate probation. Students will be required to make up missed hours that exceed 10% of the module. Students who fail to complete all assignments within 1.5 times their normal program length will be terminated.
