Incomplete and Grade Changes
A grade of Incomplete ('I') may be assigned by the instructor in situations where the student has satisfactorily completed major components of the course and has the ability to finish the remaining work without re-enrolling. The instructor determines the appropriateness of a grade of I, establishes the remaining requirements, and determines a deadline for course completion. These requirements for resolution of the I grade are generally documented with a 'course incomplete' form. All other grades are final and may not be changed.
Students may not audit or informally attend future course sections of a course in order to resolve the course incomplete.
A grade of I in a course needed for graduation must be officially changed to an appropriate grade prior to the due date for grades for the term the student has petitioned to graduate. Students are responsible for ensuring that all grades of I have been changed prior to graduation. After one calendar year has passed, an unresolved grade of I (Incomplete) will become an F. Once a student graduates, no further grade changes are allowed on the enrollment record.
Students participating in military education programs, and in some corporate-sponsored tuition plans, may have other deadlines or 'I' grade stipulations that impact their enrollment and/or tuition reimbursement. These students are responsible for compliance with these third-party requirements. Students must repeat a core course in which an F or W is earned. The student's enrollment history will document both enrollments and grades, but only the most recent grade (repeated course) will be used for GPA calculation.
