Incomplete Coursework

University Policy

If for reasons acceptable to the instructor a student fails to take the final examination or to complete any other required work within a course, he or she receives the I grade. Within the time limit set by the individual school or college, the student must complete the course requirements. If the student does complete the course requirements, the I grade is replaced with the appropriate letter grade.

Incomplete Coursework, Failing Grades, and Grade Changes

When the work of a course has not been completed within the semester of registration, the grade of I is used. This automatically becomes a permanent I (unsatisfactory grade) unless the coursework is completed within the following calendar year. Grades of I and C+ or lower are interpreted as failures. A student receiving such grades in more than two semester courses (or more than a total of 8 credit hours) is liable to be terminated. Grades, including incompletes, may not be changed after a period of one year from the time the original grade is recorded.
