Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Department of Health Informatics 2021–2022 230 1. Student Grades Most courses are graded based on letter grades A through F . Some courses may be graded on a Pass /Fail ( P/F ) basis. The numerical equivalents and grade point equivalents are as shown: Percentage Range 95–100% 90–94% 87–89% 83–86% 80–82% 75–79% 70–74% Under 70% Letter Grade A A- B+ B B- C+ C F Quality Points 4.00 3.75 3.50 3.00 2.75 2.50 2.00 0.00 P Pass (70 and above) F Fail (below 70) I Incomplete W Withdrawal IP In Progress 2. In Progress ( IP ) When the work for a particular course extends beyond the semester of registration, a grade of in progress ( IP ) may be assigned until completion of the course. The student does not reregister for that course. Time allowed to complete outstanding work will be determined by the course director. A maximum of three consecutive academic semesters may be given to complete the course, including the semester of registration. After that time, the grade of IP will be converted to the grade earned. 3. Incomplete Coursework When unanticipated and compelling circumstances prevent students from completing the requirements of a course within the specific confines of a particular semester, an extension of deadlines to meet the course requirements may be available to the student at the discretion of the course director. A mark of incomplete ( I ) may be assigned to a student when the student has been doing passing work up to the last day of class of the semester, but for reasons beyond the student’s control and which the course director finds acceptable, the student has been unable to complete the requirements of the course on time. Negligence and indifference are not acceptable reasons. Students have 10 business days to complete all courses requirements once an I grade is posted on the transcript. If coursework is not completed within 10 business days, the student will be assigned the grade earned.
