3. Incomplete Work

(Refer to the IHP Catalog: Academic Policies/Grading Policy) 


The policy of the School of Nursing is:
    1. An "I" (incomplete grade) in a course must be completed within the first two weeks of the succeeding term unless negotiated otherwise with the faculty of record for the course.
    2. If the course in which the student has an Incomplete is a pre-requisite for a subsequent course, the student may not progress to the next course until the earlier course is satisfactorily completed. 
    3. Faculty submit a grade of Incomplete for the student on Ionline, noting the completion date agreed to by the student and the faculty. If the grade has not been changed by faculty prior to the agreed upon date, the grade automatically converts to an F. 
    4. If by the end of the grading period, the student is failing the course, an incomplete grade is not an acceptable remedy.

4. Resolution of Student-Faculty Conflicts Regarding Grading 

(Refer to the IHP Catalog: Academic Policies/ Grading Policy / Process for Challenging a Final Course Grade) 


5. Feedback in Clinical Courses

Students in clinical settings should receive feedback from their clinical instructors and/or
preceptors on an ongoing basis.
