When can an incomplete grade be issued?

    An incomplete grade (I) may be issued in a course or courses only if the student does not complete the requirements for a course(s) because of illness or other extenuating circumstances beyond the student's control during the last two weeks of the semester, and then only when that situation is validated by a written statement from the Office of the Dean of Students. Note, however, that the instructor is not obligated to award "I" grade at that time. If a student has no chance of making up enough back work to affect the term grade, the instructor may choose to award a straight letter grade.

How long do I have to make up the incomplete grade(s)?

    All the missed work must be completed within the first 10 academic days of the following semester. When the instructor has sufficient evidence for evaluating the course work, the "I" grade shall be replaced with a letter grade.

What happens if I do not make up the work?

    The incomplete "I" is no longer valid and you will receive an "F" in the course.
