Adler School of Professional Psychology Catalog 2008 – 2009

Incomplete
An “I” (Incomplete) grade will be granted only in exceptional situations
when requirements for a course cannot be completed in the normal time
allowed. An Incomplete grade is allowed only with the written consent of the
instructor and indicates that the student has presented a satisfactory reason for
receiving an incomplete grade. Students must request an incomplete prior to
the due date of the final requirement of the class in question.
For an incomplete to be granted, students must file with the Registrar a
completed Incomplete Agreement form, approved and signed by the instructor,
which states what the student must do to satisfy the course requirements,
including the instructor’s grading criteria and the agreed-upon completion date.
The maximum time limit for finishing incomplete work is the end of the
following term.
Notation of an “I” grade remains on the transcript alongside the final grade
following completion of the requirement. Receipt of one or more “I” grade may
preclude students from enrolling in subsequent terms, may render the student
ineligible for federal student aid, and may result in the student being referred
to the Student Comprehensive Evaluation Committee.
If the course work is not successfully completed within the time limit
established by the instructor (less than one term, or within one term following
the course), the grade “Incomplete” will be changed automatically to an “F”
(Fail). Students who receive an “F” will be referred to the Student
Comprehensive Evaluation Committee for evaluation or face immediate
dismissal from their program and Adler School.
Credit/No Credit
A grade of “CR” (Credit) is assigned upon satisfactory completion of
undergraduate prerequisite classes, professional development seminars,
practicum seminars, practicum/internship requirements, a limited number of
regular courses, the qualifying examinations, master’s thesis, and the doctoral
dissertation. A grade of “NC” (No Credit) is assigned upon unsatisfactory
performance in practicum or a course offered on a pass/no pass basis. Grades
of “CR” are not used in calculating the grade point average; however, grades of
“NC” are used in calculating the grade point average and are considered failing
grades for the purposes of student assessment.
Audit
Students registered to audit a course will receive, upon successful
completion of the course, a designation of “AU” on their transcripts, which
