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
Most 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 English and Mathematics remedial courses. These preparatory classes do not count toward the total credits needed for graduation. However, they count credit toward semester load. They are numbered 100 or below and are non-degree or no credit classes. On transcripts, these courses will be clearly marked as zero credit. Within the course descriptions in this catalog, such courses are noted as having non-degree credit.
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
