CHCS Student Handbook 2019-2020
228 Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences—Department of Speech-Language Pathology 2019–2020 Grading Policies and Procedures Grading for the SLP.D. program is based on the following grading scale and/or pass/fail. Alpha Grade A B F Scale 4.0 3.0 0.0 Percent 90–100 80–89 0–79 P I PR NPR Pass (80 percent or above) Incomplete Progress No Progress Retake Policy, Student Progress, Academic Probation, and Dismissal If a required course is failed, the student must repeat the course at its next regularly scheduled offering. Additional tuition will be charged for repeated courses. A student who has experienced one course failure may be placed on academic probation. Students who have been placed on academic probation and earn a failing grade in a repeated course, or any other course (i.e., a second grade of F ) may be dismissed from the program. A student with two or more course failures while in the Doctor of Speech- Language Pathology program may be dismissed from the program. Any course failed on first taking will be considered a course failure. Passing a course through the retake does not negate the original failure for the purposes of retention in the program. The procedures and deliberative bodies that implement these policies and procedures are described in the Student Progress Committee and Student Appeals in the college section of this handbook. Incomplete Grades A grade of Incomplete ( I ) is issued only at the request of the student after approval by the instructor and the completion of the Incomplete Grade Assignment form. The initiation of the process is the student’s responsibility prior to the end of the course. In order to receive a grade of Incomplete, the student must 1. have completed at least 60 percent of the course with a grade of B (80 percent or better) 2. complete an Incomplete Grade Agreement form and send it to the instructor Once an Incomplete Grade Agreement has been submitted and the grade of incomplete issued, the course work must be finalized and submitted to the instructor according to the agreed upon timeline, as outlined on the Incomplete Grade form. This date can be no later than the last day of the term following the final class date of the course. The instructor will not accept assignments submitted after the date indicated on the agreement and the student’s grade will be assigned according to the work that the student submitted by the due date. An incomplete ( I ) grade that has not been changed by the official date in the agreement will be converted to an F by the program director and department chair.
