Incomplete Grades
A grade of “I” may be awarded only when students have not completed the requirements of a course. If a grade of “I” is not removed within the following semester, the “I” grade is automatically changed by the Registrar to a grade of “F.”
At the time a grade of “I” is awarded, the instructor completes a “Notice of Requirements for Removal of an ‘Incomplete’ Form”. That form includes the following information:
- Specific requirements for the completion of the course.
- The student’s grade standing at the time the “I” grade is awarded.
- The time period allowed by the instructor for the completion of the course.
It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor concerning the removal of an “I” grade. The form for the removal of incompletes is approved by the appropriate instructor and the Vice President of Instruction. No additional tuition is paid when the “I” grade is replaced with a permanent grade.

Student Dress Code
Edgecombe Community College expects all students to dress in a manner keeping with the serious academic intent of the college and the community in general. The college invites business leaders and industry representatives on campus throughout the academic year. Therefore, students should always keep in mind that they may have an unexpected opportunity to meet prospective employers, and first impressions are lasting impressions.
In view of these considerations, students are expected to use good judgment in dressing appropriately within the generally accepted boundaries of good taste. Although the college does not intend to impose upon individual style or creativity, students are prohibited from wearing clothing that is sexually suggestive or revealing, which includes exposing undergarments. Students will not be permitted to dress in a manner which disrupts the educational environment.
Though students may dress casually, they should present a clean and hygienic appearance while on campus or attending an ECC sponsored activity, function, or event off campus. Shirts and shoes are required on campus at all times. Displaying gang colors or symbols, offensive, lewd comments, and/or profanity are prohibited. As a general rule, caps, hats, and doo rags should not be worn in any classroom. Students are expected to dress in a manner appropriate to their major area of study. Certain curricula, such as the allied health programs, may require special attire for clinical and laboratory work. When this requirement is not met, students may not attend clinicals or laboratories.
Students who fail to adhere to the guidelines stated above are not allowed in any ECC facility and are subject to disciplinary action which may include suspension and/or expulsion.
