The quality of the completed work must be of at least C- quality or better. This includes instances when a faculty member may approve delaying a final project or paper, or when an instructor may allow a later final exam. This also includes instances where the student provides documentation (medical or other) of the reason for the incomplete. The \u2018I\u2019 denotes a justified agreement between instructor and student to complete the course outside of the scheduled calendar window. A notation of \u2018I\u2019 has no impact on a student\u2019s GPA. Notations of \u2018I\u2019 must be resolved and corrected within the first six weeks of the next full term of enrollment (Fall, Winter or Spring\/Summer). If the grades are not corrected by the end of the sixth week of the next full term of enrollment, they are automatically lapsed to failures (ILE for graded courses and ILF for pass\/fail courses). These failing grades will stand unless the instructor allows the student to complete all requirements at a later time. Once the work is complete and evaluated, the \u2018I\u2019 will be replaced on the student\u2019s record with the final grade. Once an \u2018I\u2019 has lapsed to failure or a final grade is submitted, then the corresponding grade (ILF, B, etc.) will be counted in a student\u2019s GPA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><u>NR = No Grade Reported<\/u>:&nbsp; NR should be assigned when one of the following scenarios occur:<\/span>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Student never attended class<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Pending Community Values Committee (CVC) investigation<\/span> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><u>Y = Extended Course<\/u>.&nbsp; Y should be for a course approved to extend beyond one term.
