The graduate faculty accepts for graduate credit only a limited number of courses in which a student earns a grade of C+, C or D (see details on scholastic standing in the M.B.A. Degree Requirements section). A grade of F is assigned to students who fail to earn credit in a course they completed and to students who do not complete a course from which they have not withdrawn officially.
Additional Grading Symbols
IN (Incomplete). If,for
legitimate reasons, a student is unable to complete all the required
coursework or examinations, a faculty member may choose to submit a grade
of INC (incomplete). If the coursework is not completed,the INC is
automatically changed to an F on February 1 for the summer trimester,
June 1 for the fall trimester, and September 1 for the spring trimester.
Justified reasons for the submission of the grade of INC might include
illness requiring medical attention, personal emergency obligations
claimed by the student and recognized as valid,recognized religious
holiday(s), and severe inclement weather causing dangerous travel
conditions.
Students incurring more than two INC grades in the
same trimester may be contacted by the Scholastic Standing Committee.
The committee reserves the right to place on probation any student who
consistently fails to complete coursework on time, in which case that
student will be permitted no future INC grade
