"I" Grade Form (click here for form)

• All students paying tuition for courses must receive a “performance grade” (A, B, C, D or F)

• An “I” is NOT a performance grade, but once it is given, it will turn into a performance grade within 120 days

• All “I” grades given by instructors must be accompanied by an “I” Grade Form which will be kept by the Chair or the Dean

• The “I” Grade Form clearly explains the student’s requirements for removing the “I” grade

• The “I” Grade Form with proper signatures is the only way an “I” grade may be removed at the Registrar’s Office

• Remember, if students are graduating, the 120 days to remove “I” grades does not apply for graduates.  Their “I” must be removed before the end of the reporting period or the student will have to re-apply for graduation in the next period.

• If not resolved, next the student meets with the Department Chair within 5 days

• A student Academic Grievance Form must be filed with the department chairperson

• The Department Chairperson has 5 days to respond with a ruling
