Incomplete Work

A grade of Incomplete ("I") may be awarded at the discretion of the instructor only when the student has been doing satisfactory work in a course and is earning a passing grade and only when a small portion of the student's work in the course is not completed. When a student’s situation warrants that an “I” grade be given, the faculty member must complete a “Request for an Incomplete (‘I’) Grade” form. The form can be electronically submitted via the SpartanWeb Faculty Forms page or filled out on paper in the Registrar’s Office.

Incomplete grades must be resolved no later than the middle of term following the scheduled completion of the course or internship. Fall incomplete grades must be resolved by the middle of the spring semester; winter intersession and spring incomplete grades by the middle of the summer term; and incomplete grades in the summer terms must be resolved by the middle of the fall semester. Failure of the student to complete work within the time limit results in an “F” being recorded as the final grade. For justifiable reasons, the student may petition to extend the "I" grade beyond the published deadline. If a student would like to request an extension, the student should fill out an Academic Petition and include supporting documentation and confirmation of instructor support for consideration.
