If the student does not submit a SMAC by the end of the semester or by an approved, extended due date, the student will be assigned an automatic grade of “F” for the course. In order to extend the SMAC due date beyond the end of the semester, an approved Request for Incomplete Grade form must be filed. Please note that it is the student’s responsibility to keep the instructor informed of reasons for late submission of coursework. It is also the student’s responsibility to obtain, complete, and submit the necessary “Request for Incomplete” form (available on the portal) to the instructor no later than the last day of class. Extensions of time to complete coursework are typically granted only when unusual, extenuating circumstances exist.
