The John K. Mullen of Denver Memorial Library of The Catholic University of America is an integral component of the academic process, provides access to our cultural and scientific heritage through library resources and services and cooperates actively with the faculty and students in the teaching, learning and research process.

Centrally located on The Catholic University of America campus, the Mullen Library is also central to the work of the institution, and carries out its mission by serving as the primary resource for content-related materials to:

• meet the research and scholarly needs of graduate students and faculty members,
• provide users with access to materials located outside the immediate library system, and
• equip users with the skills and resources needed for continuous lifelong learning.

The Mullen Library organizes, manages, and preserves unique books and materials that serve as records of our Catholic intellectual heritage and culture through special collections including those in Rare Books/Special Collections, the Semitics/ICOR library, the University Museum Collection, and the American Catholic History Research Center and University Archives.

The Mullen Library also houses the collections of the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music, the School of Nursing/Department of Biology Library, the Department of Physics Library, and the Oliveira Lima Library.

The Judge Kathryn J. Dufour Law Library is housed in the Columbus School of Law.

The provisional grade of "I" (Incomplete) is given only to a student who has not completed the requirements of a course for legitimate reasons, provided the work thus far completed in the course is of passing quality. The grade of "I" may not be given to one who has simply failed to meet the academic requirements of the course on time.

Incomplete grades must be removed before the mid-semester of the succeeding term whether or not the student continues in residence. If the incomplete is not removed by the mid-semester, the incomplete will be recorded as a grade of "F" (Failure).

Under extraordinary circumstances, but before the date of the mid-semester following the reported incomplete, a student may petition the instructor of the course and the dean of the school in which the student is enrolled for an extension of the period normally allowed for removal of the incomplete.

It is suggested that you contact the instructor of the course to determine why you failed the course.

If you believe you received a failing grade for reasons other than academic progress, you are entitled to appeal the failing grade. The process can be found on the Policies website.

There are minimum academic standards one must uphold in order to maintain scholarships. Failure to maintain requirements for Satisfactory Academic Progress may affect your scholarship eligibility, government loans, grants, etc.
