I (Incomplete)

It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor in such cases of incomplete academic work for unforeseeable, emergency and justifiable reasons at the end of the term which may result in an “I” symbol being entered in the student’s record. Conditions for removing the incomplete shall be stated by the instructor in a written record that must contain the conditions for removing the “I” and the grade assigned in lieu of its removal. This record must be given to the student and a copy filed with the Academic Records Office until the “I” is made up or the time limit has passed. A final grade shall be assigned when the work stipulated has been completed and evaluated, or when the time limit for completing the work has passed.

The “I” may be made up no later than one semester following the end of the term in which the instructor assigned it, unless a petition for a time extension is granted. (summer session does not count.) Ex: If “I” is assigned in the spring semester, the student has until the end of the fall semester to complete the coursework. The coursework must be completed within one semester or the “I” will default to the alternate grade indicated by the instructor. The “I” symbol shall not be used in calculating units attempted or for grade points.
