Incomplete Grades
A temporary Incomplete (I) grade is recorded by the instructor when approving a student’s request for an extension prior to the end of the semester. To be eligible for an Incomplete (I) grade, the student must have participated in at least 60% of the term. An Incomplete (I) grade may impact satisfactory academic progress for financial aid and future registration if the incomplete course is a prerequisite.
The instructor must make all course materials available to the student for the duration of the incomplete period. The instructor must submit a copy of the signed Incomplete Grade Contract to the department chairperson for the course, which shall specify the following:
- The remaining coursework and submission deadline.
- The Incomplete Final Grade (i.e., the final grade earned if the remaining coursework is not completed).
- The Extension Deadline (i.e., the date the Incomplete Final Grade will post to the transcript if a final grade is not submitted; the default is 30 days following the end of term).
When submitting final grades in Banner, the instructor shall enter a grade of 'I' along with the Incomplete Final Grade and the Extension Deadline from the contract. If a student submits the remaining coursework, the instructor must enter a final grade using the Banner Faculty Grade Change form prior to the Extension Deadline. If a student does not submit the remaining coursework, the student will automatically receive the Incomplete Final Grade as their final grade, or the instructor may enter an 'I+' with a new Extension Deadline, prior to the original Extension Deadline.
