Incomplete Grades
The grade of “I” for incomplete in a course that is graded on the standard grade scale or the grade of “IC” for incomplete in a course that is graded on the pass/fail grade scale is to be assigned to a student who has started coursework and is not able to complete it by the class end date due to extenuating circumstances. A grade of “I” or “IC” is to be assigned only in cases where the student is reasonably expected to complete all coursework by the deadline:
Fall Term
- January 31: Graduate School, Medical School and MSA Program
- 10 calendar days after the grading deadline: School of Pharmacy
Spring Term
- July 31: Graduate School, Medical School and MSA Program
- 10 calendar days after the grading deadline: School of Pharmacy
Summer Term
- September 15: Graduate School
If a grade of “I” or “IC” is not converted to a final grade by the deadline, the grade of “I” or “IC” will automatically be replaced with a failing/unsatisfactory grade. If an extension is necessary, the course director may consult with school/program administration and must email acadreg@mcw.edu with the date of the extension.
Withdrawals
If a student stops attending class and/or is not reasonably expected to complete all coursework, the student is to be assigned a failing grade by the course director. In some cases, a student may request to be withdrawn from a class or from the term. Please refer a student seeking a withdrawal to the school/program office. A grade of “W” for withdrawal is assigned by the Office of the Registrar only when approved by the school/program of the student.
