The mark of "I" is a student-initiated, temporary grade that is assigned only in exceptional circumstances. It is to be given only to students who are doing satisfactory work but cannot complete the requirements of a course on schedule because of illness or other circumstances beyond their control. An "I" grade automatically becomes an "F" grade (or "NC" in the case of courses with "P/NC" grading) at the end of the next semester (not including summer sessions) if requirements have not been satisfactorily met. Instructors have the option of setting an earlier completion date for the student. Extensions of this time may be approved for extenuating circumstances by the Vice President of Academic Affairs.
Requests for Incomplete forms are available in the Admissions and Records Office and must be completed and signed by both the student and the instructor. Copies of the form are retained by the student and instructor while the original is forwarded to the Admissions and Records Office after the grade of "I" has been recorded on the web.
To change the grade from an “I” to the earned student grade, go to the Admissions and Records Office. There, you will fill out a grade change form. You will need the student’s name, Stinger ID, department, course number, section number, course ID number, and grade. In addition, you will put the old grade and the corrected grade in the official grade-change book and sign your name and date of the change.
