What is the meaning of the I Incomplete” grade?
The “I” grad indicates that a student was doing satisfactory work, (grade of at least a “D”), but for nonacademic reasons beyond the students control, was unable to meet the full requirements of the course. The emphaiss is on the fact that the reason for not completing the course is not academic in nature, and that the student was doing passing work. Acceptable reasons for assigning and “I” would include, but not be limited to, the following. • Personal illness of the student • Family emergency (Death in the family, serious illness in family, birth of child,….) • Computer failure/sofware problem/laco of data supplied by outside course • Travel required by job that could not be rescheduled The Georgia Tech policy is that the “I” grade should be completed be the end of the student’s next term of enrollment. If you receive the “I” in the spring, and take summer courses, then the “I” has to made up by the end of the Summer term.
