Earlham's G.P.E. support adult students in their pursuit of further
education while at the same time realizing that professional and personal
limitations may occur. When a graduate student cannot finish the required
coursework during the normal semester due to either professional or personal
circumstances, students have the opportunity to receive a grade of Incomplete
for the current semester. This process is followed:
Students,
along with their professor or supervisor, fill out an Incomplete Form that
includes an agreed-upon plan for completing the coursework.
The
typical plan calls for all work to be completed within the next semester.
The
director signs off on all plans.
The
professor or supervisor is responsible for working with the student to
implement and fulfill the plan.
For
any circumstances not covered by the above, the director serves as the
plan supervisor.
