Incomplete (I)

Incomplete (I) Grade Policy

A grade of Incomplete (“I”) may be assigned when a student, due to documented extenuating circumstances—such as illness or family emergency—is unable to complete the final requirements of a course but has satisfactorily completed at least 75% of the coursework and maintained passing performance. The student must formally request the incomplete from the instructor by the last day of the term or semester. If approved, both parties must complete a written agreement specifying the outstanding work and a deadline for completion, which may not exceed the end of the following term or semester (whichever is applicable). Failure to meet the deadline will result in the incomplete automatically converting to the grade earned. The incomplete grade is not to be used to allow students to complete extra work subsequently to raise the grade earned during the regular term or semester, but only to complete the defined unfinished work of the course. All agreements must be documented and submitted to the registrar’s office by the prescribed deadline. Incomplete grades are not to be used in place of failing grades, nor are they transferable or factored into GPA calculation.
