Incomplete Grades
Overview
Description: This article explains the policy for assigning an incomplete grade (I), including the eligibility criteria, required approvals, deadlines for completing coursework, and procedures for determining final grades. It also outlines the roles of professors, department chairs, and the Vice President of Academic Affairs in managing incomplete grades.
Key Information
An incomplete grade (I) may be given due to unavoidable and verifiable circumstances only at the end of a semester or term to those students whose work is current, up until the day of the emergency, but who have left unfinished a small amount of work – for instance, a final examination, a paper, or a term project which may be completed without further class attendance.
When a grade of incomplete (I) is assigned, the professor will specify the work necessary to complete the course and receive a grade, the deadline date for completion, and the grade to be assigned if the work is not completed by the specified date. The latest date for the deadline is the fourth week of the next term. If the student does not make the deadline the incomplete will be converted to the grade the professor specified. After six months, the VPAA must approve changes in grades.
If the instructor from whom students receives an incomplete is no longer available, the disposition of students’ eventual grade resides with the appropriate department chairperson.
Incompletes need department chair approval.
