Incomplete Courses

A grade of “I” may be given if circumstances beyond the student’s control prevent completion of the work. A faculty person, at his or her discretion and within approved guidelines, may award an incomplete grade to a student. No more than 1/3 of the course work may be left to complete and the student must be passing the class at the time the incomplete grade is awarded. Any incomplete extended beyond the end of the next term must be approved by the Associate Dean of the governing school. Once an incomplete grade has been awarded, the student cannot withdraw from the class. Students may not register for new courses for subsequent semesters if more than 12 hours of undergraduate or 6 hours of graduate incompletes remain on a transcript. Students who have an incomplete on file are not eligible to participate in graduation ceremonies. The entire incomplete policy is available at the Residential Academic Services office.
