What is the time frame for completing courses and requests for extensions?
In compliance with University grading policies, these courses will be graded in accordance to the standards equivalent to resident courses. Each of the courses within the program is designed to be completed within six months from the date a student enrolls. When a student completes the course work, the instructor submits a final grade to the Registrar. If at the end of the six-month period the course work is not completed and an extension, as described below, has not been granted, the instructor will submit a failing grade of 0.0 to the Registrar. Extensions: With extenuating circumstances that prohibit the completion of the course by the six month expiration date, a student may request an extension of three months from the instructor. If the extension is granted, a grade of Incomplete (I) will be posted to the student’s transcript. If the course is not completed within the three-month extension, the instructor will submit an appropriate grade to the Registrar. Criteria for Requesting
