COURSE INCOMPLETE POLICY

The Incomplete (I) grade is reserved for illness, unforeseen circumstances, military assignments, or other verified emergencies that prevent a student from completing a course by the last day of the semester or part-of-term. A request for an Incomplete must be via the completion of an Incomplete Grade Contract (IGC).

A student cannot graduate with an outstanding Incomplete grade. An Incomplete in the student's final semester will delay the awarding of the degree to the next semester.

  •  The student must have completed at least 51% of the course work, and work to date has been of passing quality.

  • The student must work with the instructor to determine if an Incomplete is warranted. An IGC is not guaranteed and is not official without instructor consent and dean approval.

  • If the instructor approves the IGC, the student completes the student section, signs, dates, and submits the IGC and supporting documentation (required) to the instructor by the last day of the semester or part-of-term.

  • The instructor signs, dates, and submits the IGC to the dean; the dean signs, dates, and submits the IGC to the Registrar's Office for processing.

  • IGC allows a maximum period of 12 weeks (for a 16-week class) or six weeks (for an eight-week or shorter class) to complete the appropriate course work.

  • The IGC must include specific details of work to be completed, deadline for completion (not to exceed the max allowed), and grade to be issued if IGC terms are not met by deadline.

  • The instructor submits a Change of Grade Form (COGF) to the Registrar’s Office to update the grade. If a COGF is not received, grade will revert to grade stipulated on IGC, or to an F if no grade provided.
