SOP HANDBOOK

INCOMPLETE GRADE

The notation “I” (incomplete) in a course is given only for circumstances beyond a student’s control. It will not be granted as a remedy for course overload, failure on a final examination, absence from a final examination for reasons other than an emergency situation, or a low grade to be raised with extra work.

To receive an incomplete the student is responsible for initiating a request to receive a grade of “I” by contacting both the course coordinator and Senior Associate Dean of Academic Affairs. If the request is approved, the course coordinator reports an “I” as well as the grade the student would have received if the deficiency is not removed within the time limit. An “I” notation must be changed to an earned letter grade before the end of the following quarter. Failure to complete course requirements will cause the incomplete work to be counted as a zero and factored in with the existing grade to calculate the final grade for the course.
