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 Hospitality Administration Policy

When a student has presented a sufficient reason why coursework cannot be completed on schedule, the instructor will assign a date within the succeeding twelve months by which all course requirements must be completed and the student receives an “I” grade. A contract for completion must be filled out and signed by both the instructor and the student. In the event that coursework remains incomplete on the assigned date or twelve months after the “I” grade has been awarded, whichever comes first, the “I” grade will be changed automatically and permanently to an “F” grade.

The grade received for a repeated course does not replace the grade for the original course; both grades are computed in the student’s grade point average and credit will only be awarded once for the same course taken twice.
