Incomplete Grades
The policy of the colleges concerning the
temporary grade I/grade includes the following:
- When instructors determine that
circumstances warrant, they may allow some delay in the completion of
coursework. Such extensions may not extend beyond the last day of
finals (close) of the following regular fall or spring semester.
Earlier limits may be set at the discretion of the instructor.
- The instructor must report on the official
grade roster the grade I, followed by the grade that the student will
receive if the coursework is not complete by the end of the following
semester (e.g., I/F, or I/C or I/B). That grade will be used in the
computation of grade point averages until the incomplete is removed.
- If by the end of the following semester
the instructor reports a single final grade to the registrar, that
grade will replace the I/grade, the incomplete will be removed and
averages recomputed accordingly. Otherwise the provisional grade which
was assigned along with the I will become a permanent part of the
transcript.
When an instructor is no longer available to
report a change of grade for an incomplete, the student will be given
three options:
- The student can
take the grade given with the incomplete.
- The student can
take an S/U option.
- The student can
Withdraw from the class.
- Exceptions to the above may be granted
only by the written permission of the academic dean or the dean’s designee. Such exceptions will ordinarily be
granted only in cases of medical disability or problems of comparable
seriousness as determined in the judgment of the dean.
Degree candidates are cautioned that failure
to have all degree requirements satisfied (including removal of
incomplete grades in courses needed for graduation) by the dates set
by the registrar will necessarily postpone their graduation.
