A temporary grade of I (incomplete) is given when it is deemed by the instructor that the student, for legitimate reasons, has been unable to complete required coursework. It is the student’s responsibility to request the grade of “I” from the instructor and to identify with the instructor both the specific work that remains to be done and the deadline for completion. All work must be completed within 60 days from the end of the semester in which the course was taken. If the coursework is not completed by the deadline agreed to, the instructor will submit a grade based on the coursework that has been completed to date.
Degree/Non-degree Credit
Courses offered at Providence Christian College satisfy degree requirements and count toward the total number of credits needed for graduation. In order to aid students who were not sufficiently prepared for the rigor of college level academics, Providence also offers support through the Academic Resource Center. If a student chooses to audit a class for no-credit, that will be reflected on a transcript.
Changing Grades
Although instructors may, at their discretion, both grant incompletes and change grades after a semester has been completed, justice requires that all students in a course be given equal opportunities. Also, as part of their academic and personal development, college students benefit from the discipline required in doing a specific amount of work in a specific amount of time, and from learning to live with the consequences of their performance under such conditions. Faculty members will ordinarily, therefore, change students’ final grades only under such circumstances as the following: 1) the instructor comes to realize that an error has been made in calculating the final grade; 2) the instructor comes to believe that certain requirements of the course were so egregiously unfair as to warrant all students in the course being allowed to redo some work or to do additional work; or 3) the instructor learns that a student’s performance was affected by illness or emergency such that the instructor would have granted an incomplete had he or she known about it before the end of the semester.
Grade Reports
In order to facilitate student awareness of, understanding of, and responsibility for their grades, course grades are made available throughout each semester to students through Populi,
