Incomplete Grade Deadline

The College provides an update for students who received the temporary mark of I.

The temporary mark of I (incomplete) is given to a student when, for unusual reasons acceptable to the instructor, course requirements cannot be completed before the end of the semester.  The I Mark Assignment Form is submitted by the instructor and details the work to be completed by the student and the deadline for completion.  A copy of this form is emailed by the Registrar’s office to the student.

If the I mark has not been changed to a regular grade before the course withdrawal deadline (the 30th day of classes) of the next regular semester, the I automatically changes to an F and is computed in the GPA.  The 2007-08 Undergraduate Catalog mistakenly states that the course withdrawal deadline is the 25th day of classes; the course withdrawal deadline is now the 30th day of classes – Monday, October 1.

If you received an I for a course from the Spring 2007 semester, the summer 2007 sessions, or the May 2007 or August 2007 intersession, then check your I Mark Assignment Form to understand the conditions for completing the coursework.
