A grade point is a numerical value assigned to a letter grade for the purpose of computing the grade point average. Incomplete grades – Students are expected to complete all course work as specified by the instructor by the end of a seminar. An incomplete may be given at the option of the instructor with approval from CST administration and only under extenuating circumstances. If an incomplete is issued, the course work must be completed by the date agreed upon by the CST administration, instructor and student. An automatic grade of failure will be issued if the work is not submitted.
