Extensions for Year-Based

A Notice of Impending Expiration will be sent within three months of the course expiration date (one year from the date of registration) to Yearlong students who have not yet completed a course. Such notice will not be sent to UA students who have registered in a semester-based Independent Learning course. Normal regulations will apply to such courses and extensions will not be allowed.

If a student has completed at least 50% of the course assignments, he or she may apply for an extension of an Independent Learning course by completing Course Extension Request form. This form must be submitted 10 days prior to the expiration date and must be accompanied by a $50 fee per course. Only one six-month extension per course will be allowed.

Reinstatement/Final Extension Year-Based

If a student has allowed a course to expire without requesting an extension or has allowed an extension to expire, under certain circumstances reinstatement in the course may be allowed. A Reinstatement form must be submitted to CDE within two weeks after the expiration date. If at least 75% of the course assignments have been completed, a final additional extension of three months from the original expiration or extension date can be granted. A $75 fee will be charged for this reinstatement. The course must be completed within those three months because no further extensions or reinstatements will be allowed. If the course is still not completed by that time, the student must re-register and pay the appropriate fees.

Incomplete Semester-Based

This option is not available to yearlong independent learning students.

Semester-based students who are unable to complete their course during the scheduled course time may request an Incomplete (I). The decision of whether or not to grant an I grade is completely at the discretion of the instructor. If the instructor grants an I grade, s/he will include a statement of the work required of you to complete the course and the time limit you have to complete the work. The maximum time to be allowed is one year. At the end of the defined time limit, the instructor may issue a grade based on the work turned in. If the instructor does not change the I grade, it automaticall becomes an "F" (Failing grade) at the end of one year. The I grade is not computed in your GPA. Seniors cannot graduate with an I grade in either a UAF or major course requirement. Please complete the incomplete form if you wish to request an incomplete for a semester-based course in which your are currently enrolled.
