Incomplete Grade Extension Petition

The grade of incomplete (I) is a temporary grade that indicates that a student has not completed all course requirements, but that there is a possibility that the student will pass the course when the remaining work is completed. At a student’s request, the grade of incomplete is therefore assigned if the student has attended and participated in classes, but for valid reasons cannot complete all course assignments before the end of the term. Upon approval of the incomplete request, the student and course instructor agree on the date by which the student must submit the necessary work to complete the course.

In cases of extraordinary circumstances a student may petition for an extension of the incomplete grade if the student is unable to complete the necessary work by the date specified by the instructor. Students requesting an extension of an incomplete grade must meet with the course instructor to confirm the agreement of the extension, and set a new deadline to submit the outstanding work prior to submitting the petition.

Instructions

Meet with the course instructor to confirm the agreement of the extension, and set a new deadline to submit the outstanding work.
