Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences (PCHCS)—Department of Audiology 2024–2025 148 Withdrawal from a Course A request for withdrawal from a course shall be made in writing to the program chair. A student may request withdrawal only if the student is in good academic/professional standing with the program. A withdrawal from a course requires approval from the program chair. A grade of W (withdrawal) will be recorded on the transcript. The grade of W will be replaced by an earned grade only if the student retakes the course. Unofficial or poor standing withdrawals may result in a grade of F as determined by the faculty member. Incomplete Coursework Students who are unable to complete the requirements for a course within the term limits may request, in writing, a grade of I (incomplete) from the professor. This request must be made in writing to the professor, who has the sole discretion to accept or reject the request. To be eligible for a grade of I, the student must be earning a passing grade at the time of the request. If the request is accepted by the professor, the professor shall provide to the student the terms and conditions of an “incomplete contract.” It is the student’s responsibility to complete the requirements of the incomplete contract within the prescribed time limits. Incomplete coursework must be completed by the end of the next semester the course is offered or within one year from the end of the course, whichever is sooner. Failure to successfully complete the contract automatically results in a failing grade.
