Incomplete Grades and Course Make – Up Work
The opportunity to complete an incomplete grade or make-up missed work including
examinations may be available to the student. The ability to complete incomplete makeup course
work is determined by policy. The student’s follow-through with policy regarding attendance,
the student’s previous attendance records and academic progress will be considered when
making this decision. Fees are charged to cover the program’s expense associated with grading,
clinical make-up time, nursing skills laboratory make-up time, examination preparation,
proctoring, and recording.
