Page 57 - Rules of Implementation of the Undergraduate Study and Examinations By- Law

Article 34
In the case of a research-based course that extends beyond a single
semester, the student will receive a grade of In-Progress (IP). Once the
student finishes the course and fulfills all the necessary requirement,
they will receive the final grade they have earned. However, if the
student fails to complete the course within the specified time, the
Department Council responsible for the course may approve assigning
an Incomplete (IC) grade to the student’s transcript for that course.

The Rule of Implementation for Article 34
1. The course instructor, after specifying the scope of work and the time
necessary to complete the course requirements, will recommend
assigning an In-Progress (IP) grade to the student.
2. Once the student completes the course, the course instructor will
change the student’s grade and the assign the final grade which
must be approved by the Department Chair and the College
Dean before being submitted to the Deanship of Admission and
Registration.
3. Having In-Progress (IP) grade during a particular semester result
in having the student’s general grade as “pending”, which includes
being pending to be included in the Dean’s list.

4. If the student is unable to complete the course in the specified
time, the Department Council that teaches the course may assign
an Incomplete grade (IC), and the rules of Article 33 regarding the
Incomplete (IC) grade shall be applied.

Article 35
The University Council, based on the recommendation of the Council
of the College or Institute that follows the full academic year system,
may determine the number of failed course units in which a student
can re-take the final exam (second round) for the course they failed.
