Extension/Incomplete Grade
Application for an extension in all courses must be made by either the final class session or by the date that the last assignments in that course are due, whichever date is latest. An application for an extension must be made on the form available at MB Biblical Seminary and is only complete when it is submitted to the Registrar and includes the signatures of both the student and the professor.
All work is due one month after the last day of classes for the grading period (see form for fees and due dates). If the work is not completed and submitted to the faculty on time, a grade will be given based on the work that was completed. If this is less than C-, an F will be recorded. The NC (No Credit) grade will be used only for courses that are being graded CR/NC. Faculty members may have additional or more specific extension and late assignment policies that will be outlined in their syllabi. (For example, no extensions are allowed, grades on late assignments will be lowered a specified amount, etc.)
No second extension will be allowed for the same class. Students cannot take extensions on two classes in the same semester.
Any exceptions to these policies in cases of family and professional emergency or illness must be made by the Academic Dean. Supporting documentation from a doctor, therapist, etc., may be required.
Students who demonstrate a pattern of requesting extensions frequently, will be counseled to adjust their academic load to a more manageable level. Students who require more than one extension at a time because of emergencies, may be advised to reduce their academic load while they complete the extensions and deal with the circumstances that required the extensions.
