Incompletes

An incomplete or “Grade Deferred” for a graduate Education course is granted by the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs or Doctoral advisor, as appropriate, with approval by the course instructor, for extraordinary reasons and for a limited, specified period of time, where there is a realistic probability of successful completion of the course and learning objectives can be achieved.  This will typically not exceed one semester and may not exceed one year.  If the work is not completed by the time specified, the student’s grade automatically becomes an “F.” An incomplete Grade Contract must be signed by the instructor, student, and Associate Dean or Doctoral advisor.
