Incomplete Grade
University policy on assigning a grade of incomplete (I), as approved by the faculty, is as follows:
The grade of Incomplete may be assigned by an instructor if a student, through circumstances beyond his or her control, has not completed a small portion of a course by the conclusion of the term. The student must request in writing the grade of Incomplete and must propose a date acceptable to the faculty member by which the missing work will be completed. A grade of Incomplete may not be assigned in order to give a student a chance to do more work to improve a grade.
The deadline for removal of an Incomplete is one year from the first day of the term in which the Incomplete was recorded, unless a shorter period of time is specified by the instructor. In certain circumstances where the student must attend the class to fulfill the remaining requirements, and when the course is not offered every semester, at the instructor’s discretion the deadline for removal of the Incomplete will be one year from the end of the term in which the Incomplete was recorded. The deadline determined by the faculty member must be specified when they assign the grade of Incomplete in the Faculty Center. In order to change a grade of Incomplete to the final letter grade, use the “Request a Grade Change” link in the Faculty Center. It is found on the “My Schedule page”. Instructors are required to enter the grade the Incomplete grade will become if the incomplete is not replaced by a higher grade prior to the deadline. A grade of incomplete can also be assigned by an instructor if academic integrity is in question at the time grades are due and the instructor requires more time to resolve the issue.
