"The grade of I may be awarded only at
the end of a term, when all but a minor portion of the course work has
been satisfactorily completed. The grade of I is not to be
awarded in place of a failing grade or when the student is expected to repeat the course; in such a
case, a grade other than I must be assigned. Students should make
arrangements with the instructor to receive an incomplete grade before
the end of the term.
Instructors are encouraged to use the Report
of Incomplete Grade form as a contract with the student as to what
course work must be completed by the student for the I grade to
be removed and replaced with a grade. On the form, the instructor states
which assignments or exams should be completed and when, how this work
will be graded, and how the student's course grade will be calculated.
Both the instructor and student sign this agreement and both should
retain copies.
After the course work is completed, the instructor
should assign the appropriate grade on a Change of Grade form and submit
it to the Office of the Registrar for processing. After
processing, the new grade will be included in the calculation of the
GPA."
