Students may request an Incomplete from their instructor and their instructor will determine whether the Incomplete is appropriate to award or not. A grade of Incomplete is not a promised option, it is a request. If your instructor grants you this grade option, below are the Grade Procedures for an Incomplete (I).
Incomplete Grade Procedures:
- Prior to the end of the semester in which the (I) is to be awarded, the student must meet with the instructor to determine the assignments and exams that must be completed prior to the deadline date. This meeting can occur virtually. Once agreed upon, the instructor will complete the Report of Incomplete Grade form.
- The instructor will complete the form, including all course requirements for successful completion, and will then email it to the student.
- The student will then complete their section, sign it (by typing in their name), and will then return the completed form to the instructor to complete the agreement.
- A copy of the fully completed form will then be emailed by the instructor to the student and the department chair at the end of the semester.
- The instructor will enter the grade of "I" on the final grade roster.
- The student must complete all remaining work by the date specified on the form above. This date is determined by the instructor in collaboration with the student, but it may not be later than the final withdrawal deadline in the subsequent long semester.
- Students will retain access to the course Blackboard page through the subsequent semester(s) in order to submit work and complete the course. Students will be able to log on to Blackboard and have access to the course section materials, assignments, and grades from the course and semester in which the Incomplete was awarded.
- When the student completes the required work by the Incomplete deadline, the instructor will submit an electronic Grade Change Form to change the student’s performance grade from an (I) to the earned grade of A, B, C, D, or F.
- If an Incomplete is not resolved by the deadline, the grade automatically converts to an F.
Students receiving an (I) for Fall 2019, Spring 2020, or Summer 2020 may complete remaining course requirements and convert the (I) to a completion grade during Summer or Fall 2020 semesters. Final date for the conversion is extended through November 19, 2020, the published final fall conversion date for Incompletes (I).
Students receiving an I for Spring 2020 may opt to convert the I to a W. If converted by July 26 the student may repeat the course during the Fall 2020 semester without additional charge. Students selecting the course repeat option will enroll in an available section of the same course, and retake the entire course during the Fall 2020 term. More details on this process will be forthcoming.
