Rounding Policy: Grades will be rounded up, i.e., 89.5% is rounded to 90%. 89.4% is rounded down to an 89%.
Incomplete Policy: You may request an incomplete grade after the midpoint of the course when unexpected circumstances, such as illness, make it impossible for you to complete the remaining work by the end of the semester. You must, however, be passing the course with a C- or better at the midpoint of the course. The purpose of an incomplete, therefore, is not to repeat the entire course but to complete no more than half of the required work. It is your responsibility to initiate this process, but an incomplete is assigned solely at the discretion of the instructor. Check with the instructor for the entire policy.
