Incomplete Grades Contract

Incomplete Grade Contract

All incomplete grades, except those for thesis, dissertation, or in some instances internship, must carry an alternate grade designation. The grade “I” with an alternate letter grade of B, C, D, or F indicates that the work was incomplete at the end of the course. The alternate letter grade indicates the grade that will be recorded if the work is not completed by the end of the last day of the next semester in which the student is enrolled. The grade “I” with an alternate letter grade of B, C, D, or F may only be given to a graduate student who, upon petitioning the instructor in writing, has provided adequate justification for partial completion of the course requirement when the final grade report is due.
