Memo • Grade “I” policy • A student must finish 75%, or more than half of the work, in a class to be qualified to get an “I” for incomplete. Or else, there is an “F.” “F” can not be changed to any other grades once it is given. • Grade “F” policy • If a student cannot get an “I” for incomplete, then get an “F.” If a student gets an “F,” he/she must retake the class, or say, pay the class again to take it again.
