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. The requirements for resolution of the I grade are documented with an Incomplete Grade form. All non-I grades are final and may not be changed.
Students may not audit or informally attend future sections of a course in order to resolve the incomplete grade.
After one calendar year has passed, an unresolved grade of I will become an F. That being said, students participating in military education programs, and in some corporate-sponsored tuition plans, may have other deadlines or 'I' grade stipulations that impact their progress, and/or tuition reimbursement. These students are responsible for compliance with these third-party requirements.
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 Once a student graduates, no further grade changes are allowed on the student record.
