It is expected that EKU online courses will be completed during the semester in which enrollment is undertaken. However, should a student be unable to complete a course within the regularly scheduled semester, he or she may request an "incomplete" grade from the instructor. Should the instructor decide an "incomplete" is warranted, the work must be completed before the end of the next semester or the grade automatically reverts to an "F."
