The notation of I (Incomplete) may be recorded if a student, for reasons beyond his or her control, is unable to complete the work of the course AND if the instructor approves the reason before grades must be reported.

The I may be used only if the student's prior performance and class attendance in the course have been satisfactory.

Failure to complete the work of a course that is not satisfactorily explained to the instructor before the date when grades must be turned in will be graded F. 

To Request an Incomplete, You Must

1. Complete a Request for Incomplete Grade form

2. Obtain the instructor’s approval

3. Return the form to 2nd floor Graduate Students Services Center

Academic Policies: Incompletes

The I may remain on the record for a maximum of one year, but the instructor should set a shorter period when the uncompleted work must be made up.

An incomplete that is not removed within one calendar year or at the time of graduation of the student (whichever occurs first) is automatically changed to an IF.

The I cannot be removed by the student’s reregistering for the course here or taking its equivalent elsewhere.

When the I is changed to a letter grade, the I followed by the letter grade (e.g., IB) will appear on the student’s record.
