How do I make up an Incomplete or the “I” grade?

Updated October 14, 2022

An Incomplete grade can be assigned when the quality of the work is satisfactory, but some minor, yet essential, requirement of the course has not been completed, and for reasons acceptable to the instructor, a report of “I” may be made and additional time granted for the completion of the work.

If the course is not completed within a year, the “I” will be administratively changed to an “NP” unless the instructor submits another grade.? The conditions for completion of the work should be stated in writing, signed by the instructor and the student, and kept on file in the department or program office.? An “I” may not be assigned as a withdrawal.? An “I” does not entitle a student to repeat a course without paying tuition.? It may be impossible to receive an “I” in some courses where, for example, equipment usage is required.
