(Effective Fall 2003)
A grade of incomplete is given only when unusual circumstances deem it appropriate. Ordinarily, such circumstances would involve matters that are not wholly within a student's control, such as illness.
Students who wish to receive an incomplete must complete an Incomplete Contract (available online) no later than the last day of the term in which course requirements are due. The student must be making satisfactory progress in the course at the time the Incomplete Contract is submitted to the instructor.
Incompletes are awarded at the faculty's discretion. If granted, the normal deadline for completion of the work is no more than eight weeks after the last day of classes in the session or subsession in which the course is offered. The instructor may establish a due date after the normal deadline if the student requests it and special circumstances warrant it.
The instructor will submit an alternate grade that will automatically be recorded if the student does not complete the requirements for the course by the deadline. If the students completes the course requirements by the deadline, the instructor must submit the final grade within one week.
Extensions to the due date originally agreed to by the student and the instructor must be approved by the appropriate academic dean.
