Incomplete Grade
The grade of Incomplete, I, indicates that the work has not been completed because of factors outside of the control of the student. Students must complete the work 30 days after the beginning of the succeeding semester to remove the I grade. If it is not removed within this period, the grade becomes an F. The Master of Science in Nursing is a trimester program.
