Incomplete Grades
The student is given the opportunity, as appropriate, to clear incomplete grade(s) and progress in the
program.

The assignment of an incomplete grade is at the sole discretion of the faculty. An incomplete “I” grade
indicates the student has not yet fulfilled course requirements and that either additional course work is
needed or make-up work is to be completed. A final judgment and final grade determination of the
student’s performance is made after the student fulfills the specified course work.

Incomplete “I” grades can result in a student not meeting the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic
Progress (SAP) policy. See the Financial Aid SAP Policy.

The incomplete grade must be cleared by satisfactory completion of all course work designated in writing
and within the established time frame set by the faculty. If the incomplete grade is not cleared within the
timeframe outlined by the faculty, the “I” shall be converted to a final grade of “F”.
If an “I” is not cleared within six months, it will automatically be converted to an “F” by the registrar.

Library Services
Students and faculty have access to the resources at the BHCLR Library. This library offers services in
the support of student learning. Additionally, students can access certain library services by clicking the
