Students experiencing extenuating circumstances may ask their instructor(s) for an extension. Students must request the extension in the final week of the term. If the student does not have a minimum grade of a 50% in the course, the University reserves the right to deny the request. The student cannot exceed the attendance policy while completing coursework for an "I" grade. If the request is approved by the instructor and Program Director, students will be given a temporary "Incomplete" grade and must complete the course requirements within ten (10) calendar days of the end of the term. Students requesting an “I” grade for the HIM299, RXT190 and RXT200 courses will have up to eight (8) weeks to complete course requirements. If outstanding assignments or practicum hours are not submitted within that time frame, the Incomplete grade will change to a WF grade.

Students experiencing extenuating circumstances may ask their instructor(s) for an extension to complete their hours and/or assignments required in the didactic portion of their Program. Students must request an extension in the final week of the module prior to moving into the clinic learning environment. If the student does not have a minimum grade of 50% in the didactic portion of the course, the Institution reserves the right to deny the request. If the Program Director approves the request, students will be given an "Incomplete" grade, and the student must complete the didactic portion of the course within ten school days of the completion of their term. If outstanding assignments or practicum hours are not submitted within that time frame, the student will fail the course and be withdrawn from the Program.
Should a student fail to complete all 40 clinic hours required within the allotted time of their Program, the student will be put on a scheduled break until the next available clinic. Any student in this status must complete all required clinic hours during the next scheduled clinic, or they will fail the course and be withdrawn from the Program.
Receiving a grade of incomplete or being placed on a scheduled break may result in a student’s state certification exam being delayed. Only when all hours and course requirements are complete can a student sit for the exam. Should a student fail to complete the required hours or assignments by the agreed-upon date, the student will be dismissed from the Program. Only with the approval of the Program Director and division President can the student re-enroll in the Program, and the student may have to start the Program over. This could result in increased tuition costs and/or fees for the Program.
