Incomplete (I)

Use of this grade is very restricted and only on the basis of extenuating circumstances in the judgment of the instructor. When a student is not able to complete the course requirements within the length of the course for reasons acceptable to the instructor, the instructor may assign an “Incomplete” on terms specified by the instructor. An “I” is valid for only one TERM; after this it becomes an “F.” During the waiting period, an “I” is listed as credit hours attempted, but not completed.

The instructor will prepare a modified final exam or an appropriate assignment and leave it in a sealed envelope with the department head or division head. The department head or division head or an instructor designated by them will proctor and score the exam in accordance with FNU policy. The same will apply to written papers waiting to be graded as part of a final grade.

The instructor may calculate the course average by using “0” for each of the components of the final grade that has not been satisfied. (The course syllabus will list the components of the final grade for that course, or the instructor will otherwise stipulate these).
