I
Incomplete: Incomplete: A temporary grade of “I” given to a student whose performance in a course is satisfactory but is forced to miss a major exam or assignment at the end of the term due to illness or other emergency. The instructor and student arrange how and when the student will complete the missed assignment(s) and have the grade of “I” changed to a final lesser grade. The “I” completion deadline is marked on the SCTC college calendar and is usually within the first month of the next semester. Students must complete all work in time for the instructor to submit a grade change by the “I” deadline. If the student does not meet the deadline, the “I” grade will convert to an “F” on the student’s transcript.

No Show: Any student who does not attend a face-to-face class or who does not log into an online or hybrid class will be marked as a No Show. The deadline for instructors to report No Shows is usually at the beginning of the second week of the term. Students will not be charged for a class that marks them as a No Show. Students are not allowed back into a course once they have been No Showed.
