Graduation Procedure

1. All students desiring to graduate must file a Graduation Application with the Registrar’s Office by: September 15
for December graduation; and by December 1 for graduation in either May or August of the following year.

2. The Registrar’s Office receives the Graduation Application from each student.
3. Students who are not approved to graduate in the semester stated on the Graduation Application must file another

Application in a subsequent semester.
4. The Registrar’s Office posts degrees on transcripts and issues diplomas only when the registrar has certified that all

graduation requirements have been met. These requirements include the following:
a. Satisfactory completion of all degree requirements as specified in the Catalog for the student’s degree program.

Students who have been approved to pursue a degree according to an Individualized Degree Plan must satisfy
all course and credit requirements of that plan prior to graduating.
b. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00.
c. Payment of graduation fee and all university financial obligations, including housing.
5. Students on academic or disciplinary probation will not be allowed to graduate.

Note: Diplomas and final transcripts will not be issued to graduates who have not completed required financial aid exit
counseling.

“Incomplete” Grades (“I”)

A grade of “Incomplete” (“I”) will be assigned only if proper arrangements have been made prior to the end of the course.
The “Incomplete” grade is intended for use only in extraordinary circumstances, beyond the student’s control, which
prevent the student from completing the course on time. To qualify for an Incomplete, the student must have completed
over 75% of the course material and have a documented reason for requesting the incomplete. (75% means all
assignments/exams up to and including the mid-term point, tests, and or assignments.) If these conditions are met, the
instructor may complete a “Request for a Grade of ‘Incomplete” (available at
http://www.regent.edu/admin/registrar/onlineforms.cfm) and submit it to the appropriate Department Chair before the
end of the course for final approval of request. Both the student and the instructor must sign the request; however, the
student may give the instructor permission to sign for him or her. The instructor must indicate that this permission has
been granted on the form. A grade of “I” will be given in a regular course only for legitimate deficiencies due to illness,
emergencies, or other extraordinary circumstances. The form must be submitted to the Registrar by the last day of
the session. Students on academic probation are ineligible for grades of “Incomplete” for courses taken while on
academic probation.

Once the grade of “I” has been assigned, the student must complete all outstanding requirements for the course within
six (6) weeks of the last day of the course. It is the student’s responsibility to work with the instructor to ensure these
requirements are submitted. If all course requirements are not completed within six (6) weeks of the last day of the
course, the incomplete grade will be converted to a grade of “FX,” and the student must re-register and pay the
appropriate tuition to re-enroll in the course the next time it is offered. A student who acquires two concurrent grades of
“Incomplete” in one semester will not be permitted to enroll in additional courses until the “Incomplete” grades are
resolved. The grade of “Incomplete” is removed when the instructor assigning such a grade submits a change of grade
form.

The issuance of an “I” grade may have a direct impact on a student’s receipt of a grade for tuition reimbursement purposes
and may directly affect the student’s eligibility for and receipt of financial aid. It is imperative that students contact the
Financial Aid Office at Regent University immediately upon receiving an “I.”
