Incomplete indicates that a portion of required coursework has not been completed and evaluated in the prescribed time period due to unforeseen, but fully justified, reasons and that there is still a possibility of earning credit. It is the responsibility of the student to bring pertinent information to the attention of the instructor and to determine from the instructor the remaining course requirements which must be satisfied to remove the Incomplete. The instructor of the course will complete an Incomplete Contract. The date by which the course is to be completed will be stated; however, no more than one year from the time the class ended will be allowed to complete the requirements.
Either the instructor will change the Incomplete to an appropriate grade or it will administratively be changed to either a letter grade of F (Failure) and will be included in the student’s grade point average or to a grade of NC (No Credit) depending on the grade mode of the course. An extension of the one-year time limit (maximum of one additional year) may be granted by petition for circumstances beyond a student's control.
After the instructor has created the incomplete contract:
Step 1: Login to Student Center
Step 2: Select Grades from the "other academic" drop-down menu. Click the arrows to open the grades window.
Step 3: Select the appropriate term. Click Continue.
Step 4: Click on Review Contract. [The link will be next to the course you will receive an incomplete grade.]
Step 5: Read the terms of the contract, including work to be completed, the deadline for completion, and the grade that will be assigned without further work. Click the check box to acknowledge that you have read and agree with the terms of the contract.
Step 6: You will receive the message, "Are you sure you want to accept the contract?" After you accept, no electronic changes can be made to the contract. Click "Yes" to confirm that you want to accept the contract.
Step 7: An acceptance date is recorded. Click Return to go back to your grades.
Step 8: You should see that Review Contract has changed to "Accepted". You may click on "Accepted" at any time to view your contract and track the completion of your contract as it is updated by the class instructor.
