What is an “Incomplete”grade and how does it work?
Incomplete grades are granted to students only in exceptional circumstances that occur after the drop deadline of the course. The drop deadline for the quarter is generally in the seventh week of class. If circumstances prevent the student from completing the course before the end of the seventh week of class, the student is required to drop the course and receive a “W” or withdrawal grade for the course. If a situation arises after the drop deadline that prevents the student from completing some of his or her assignments, the student is to contact the instructor immediately to discuss options. The granting of the incomplete grade is not automatic, and the instructor when making the decision to grant an incomplete willconsider several factors. If the instructor approves the incomplete, a contract specifying what needs to be completed in a time frame not to exceed one quarter after the quarter of enrollment is completed.
