Incomplete Grades

A student may discuss the possibility of an incomplete in a course as a result of illness or other extenuating life circumstances. However, they must have completed all but the last one-fifth of the semester and must be in good academic standing in the class. The faculty retains the right to decide whether or not an incomplete is appropriate based on the student’s performance in the class and the nature of the missing assignments. If an incomplete is granted, the faculty will complete the online Incomplete Grade Form located on Etrieve, which serves as a contract between both parties and which the faculty will submit to the registrar. The student must complete all missing work in accordance with the agreed-upon timeline recorded on the form but no later than seven weeks after the last date of the class for graduate and professional studies programs, or by the second week of classes in the subsequent fall or spring semester for traditional undergraduate programs. Failure to submit assignments by the specified deadline will result in a failing grade for the course. If faculty do not submit a Change of Grade form, the Incomplete grade will result in an F automatically. See the Faculty Guide for step-by-step details.
