A grade of Incomplete (INC) may be recorded only when:
- The student's current grade in the course would be considered a passing grade.
- The student has already substantially completed the course requirements. The general guideline for “substantially completed” is the student having successfully completed at least 70% of the required coursework for that course, based on faculty discretion.
- The student is experiencing extenuating circumstances beyond their control (e.g., illness, military service, death in the immediate family, disability-related issues, personal or family hardship).
After the student’s coursework is submitted to the faculty, the student will be assessed a final letter grade. Course faculty will submit the appropriate final grade within two weeks of the designated due date.
If, between the time a grade of Incomplete is assigned and completion of course requirements, a student is academically dismissed, the student will still have the option of completing the coursework for their Incomplete. Program Deans will inform the student of their dismissal as well as the fact that they are able to complete their course requirements for the course with an Incomplete.
Degrees will not be posted to transcripts if there are any Incomplete (INC) grades listed on the transcript.
