Do department instructors ever give an “Incomplete” as a grade?
A grade of Incomplete is only given when the work is almost completed, but circumstances make it difficult or impossible to finish the course on time. Giving an Incomplete grade is entirely the prerogative of the instructor. However, the Department policy is that if an extension is granted, it has to be agreed to in writing, and a completion date specified. If the student fails to obtain a grade of “I” (a completed form is the only official proof of this), the instructor may fail the student, or assign a grade based on the work already handed in. If a student fails to meet the completion deadline (or fails to agree with the instructor on a further extension), the grade of I will be turned into an E or U. An E or U grade can only be changed if the Department is petitioned in writing. There is an Incomplete Grade form that has to be filled out, signed by the student and the instructor, and approved by the Department Chair. This form is available from the Department secretary.
