Any extensions to the one-semester time frame must be arranged with the Associate Dean of Academic Programs prior to the Incomplete being changed to a grade of F.
    4. A student with two or more current grades of Incomplete will not be permitted to enroll in any new courses until the number of current incomplete grades becomes less than two. All grades of Incomplete on courses that are part of the degree requirements must be removed at least one month before the final semester of the degree.
    5. The course instructor, or in the absence of the instructor, the specialty coordinator, shall supervise the completion of the course work and removal of the incomplete to a course grade.
    6. If the incomplete is in a course that is a prerequisite for another, the student may not progress until the incomplete is removed.
    7. All grades of Incomplete on courses that are part of the degree requirements must be removed at least one month before the final semester of the degree.
