Incompletes

A grade of incomplete “I” will be granted only in cases of hardship (circumstances which, in the judgment of the faculty, warrant special consideration). If all coursework is not completed by the last day of class, it is the student’s responsibility to contact the faculty within 24 hours of the final examination. If the student fails to follow the above procedure, the faculty will grade accordingly (as per course outline).

Students with "Incompletes" at the end of the term will not be awarded degrees. Pending graduates must have all grades recorded prior to the degree award date in the Academic Calendar or be denied approval for graduation.

The faculty will determine the appropriate amount of time required to complete the outstanding work and may require a written Completion Contract with the student. Students have no longer than until the last day of the following semester to submit their completed assignments to the faculty. If the Incomplete grade is received in the fall semester or winter intersession, they have until the last day of the spring semester to submit their assignments. If the Incomplete grade is received in the spring or summer semester(s), they have until the last day of the fall semester to submit their assignments.

Any extension beyond the published dates of the Academic Calendar requires written approval from the faculty, the Graduate or Doctoral Program Director and the Senior Dean of Research, Scholarship & Graduate Studies. Further extensions will be considered under extenuating circumstances and will need to be approved by the School Dean. If by that time the faculty has not notified the Registrar that the “I” has been changed to a letter grade, the “I” becomes an “F”.

The faculty is required to submit a grade for the student within 14 days after the student has submitted the work to fulfill the terms of the “Incomplete”.
