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.

School of Education Policy

In the School of Education, resolving incomplete (I) grades must be arranged with the professor in advance. The expectation is that the work will be completed within the semester following the semester in which the course was taken.

In the College of Arts & Sciences, if a student fails to complete the required coursework by the deadline date set by the appropriate instructor, or within 12 months from the date the “I” grade was assigned, whichever comes first, the “I” grade is automatically and permanently changed to a grade of “F.”
