An ‘I’ (Incomplete) grade is used when the instructor is not prepared to give a final grade for the course because of some justifiable delay in the student’s completion of specific coursework. The student and the instructor should complete the Incomplete Grade Contract and submit it before the last day of the class. After grading the student’s completed work, the instructor submits a final grade to the Registrar’s Office. All work associated with an ‘I’ grade must be completed, and the final grade must be submitted by the last day of following academic term, including summer. If the work is not completed within this time frame, a grade of “F” automatically replaces the “I” on the student’s academic transcript. No additional exceptions or grade change requests from the instructor or department will be accepted.
Incomplete Procedure
To request approval for an “I” (incomplete) grade, students must initiate the Incomplete Grade Contract form located in Student Information System (SIS). Students should review the Incomplete Grade Contract Instructions for step-by-step guidance on this process.
Please Note: Before submitting an Incomplete Grade Contract, students should communicate with their course instructor (and adviser when appropriate) to determine if the contract is appropriate for their circumstances.
