Incomplete Grade Policy
Effective for students admitted Fall 2012 and beyond:
- An "Incomplete" (denoted on the transcript by the symbol I) may be given by an instructor only if the work is unfinished for reasons acceptable to the instructor.
- The unfinished work that resulted in an incomplete grade must be submitted within one year (12 months) of the time when the grade was given. If an Incomplete is given in the Fall term, the coursework must be submitted by the last day of the following Fall term. If an Incomplete is given in the Winter term, the coursework must be submitted by the last day of the following Winter term.
- Based on University policy, the "I" is not removed when the course is completed but remains on the transcript. For example, if a "B" grade is earned, the grade will appear on the transcript as an "IB".
- An "I" grade will lapse to an "E", if the unfinished work is not submitted by the required deadline described in the previous paragraph. In such cases, no degree credit is earned and the course is then computed as an "E" in the term and cumulative grade point averages.
*Exceptions to this policy require approval of the Assistant Dean of Student Engagement and Practice. Requests for exceptions must be made in writing by the student and signed by the faculty instructor.
