Incomplete Grade Policy

 

To receive an Incomplete (I), the student must petition, using an Incomplete Request Form (IRF), from their instructor no later than 11:59 pm (CT) on the last day for the course to request an extension.

• The student must present supporting evidence to the instructor at the time of the request in addition to the IRF. "Supporting evidence" means the documentation provided substantiates and demonstrates a direct relation between the requesting party and the situation, and the cited situation is beyond the requestor's unforeseeable or reasonable control.

• It is the responsibility of the student to know and comply with the due date for the submission of an incomplete grade request. If a student is unsure of the due date, they may speak with any of the following university staff: Campus Director of Academic Operations (ground campus), Student Services Advisor, Student Services Manager, Instructor, or Program Chair.

• In order to qualify for an incomplete, a student must be able to potentially mathematically pass the class with at least a “C” at the time of the request, which includes the potential scores earned for assignments to be submitted during the Incomplete duration. 

• The student must have been in communication with the faculty member during the session regarding the situation impacting course progress or have evidence substantiating why communication was not possible. 

Faculty members reviewing an Incomplete request will conduct an analysis of the student’s academic progress in the course. 

• A determination is made by the faculty member within 24 hours.

• The allowable volume of assignments for an Incomplete duration is two units. A "Unit" is considered the assignments contained with the given unit. Combining assignments from multiple units into a single unit is not permitted. Discussion Boards are ineligible for an Incomplete.       

• Students awarded a grade of Incomplete (I) must have an active student status at the time of the award and throughout the duration of the Incomplete. 

• Work approved for submission as part of the Incomplete must be completed within 7 days from the date the (I) grade is posted as the final grade for the class. 

• If the student does not complete the work within the stipulated time, the incomplete (I) final grade will be converted to the earned final letter grade based on the course grade book.
