Incomplete Grade Policy
Effective 07/01/01; supercedes all previous policies
Incomplete grades are to be issued only for extenuating circumstances. Below are the guidelines for instructors to use if considering an
Incomplete for a student:
Approved Incomplete must meet three criteria:
1.
2.
3.
The student must have completed at least 70-75% of the course work.
There must be an unusual problem that kept the student from completing the course.
The student may not be a graduating senior.
Valid Reasons:



Long-term health problems (or hospitalization), as verified with specific written explanation by the student’s attending physician.
Family or personal emergency (death of immediate family member or emotional trauma), as verified by the Vice President for
Student Development.
Extreme circumstances that are beyond the planning and control of the student. (Examples: Field placement was canceled;
internship ended after last day of term, research data did not arrive on time.)
Invalid Reasons:



Student did not make good use of time and needs more time to complete the coursework.
Student had a heavy work schedule that prevented completion of the coursework.
Student did not contact the instructor (in the case of an online course, independent or individualized study, directed research or
readings course).
Instructors need to advise their students accordingly. All Incompletes must be requested before the end of the course, with enough time
left for the students to actually complete the coursework if the instructor rejects their requests. If students wait until the end of the course
to voice their requests, they run the risk of the instructor rejecting the request and it is then too late for them to finish their work. The
instructor would then be forced to issue an F (or whatever grade the student had earned at that point). In the case of last-minute situations,
please contact the Provost as soon as possible.
On the Incomplete Request Form, the instructor must specify the exact date the incomplete work is due to the instructor and the date the
grade will be submitted to the registrar’s office. The maximum allowable time in which to finish an Incomplete is by the end of the
sixth week after the course’s original end date.
The day after the designated due date, the registrar’s office will issue a grade of F if a grade has not been submitted. The registrar’s office
will, at any time, issue a list of pending Incompletes to any instructors who request it, but will not notify instructors of impending F grade
changes. It is the instructor’s responsibility to keep track of his/her Incomplete due dates and to notify the registrar’s office of the assigned
grade when the work is completed, by filling out a Change of Grade Request.
