Incomplete Grades

The maximum time for completing course requirements to remove incomplete grades is one year from the end of the session in which the “I” grade was assigned. After that time, the “I” grade will automatically be converted by the registrar to an “E,” “F,” or “U” based on the grade mode for the course. The student can then only earn credits for the course by registering for it again in another term.

If a student applies for graduation in a session before the one-year period has expired, the course requirements must be completed by the end of that session, or the I grade will be converted by the registrar to an “E,” “F,” or “U.”

A faculty member who chooses to deviate from this policy will require the student to sign a contract specifying conditions necessary for course completion, which may include a time period for completion of less than one year or other conditions.

Students registered for thesis credits will be assigned the letter "O" (Ongoing) instead of “I” while completing their research.
