Incomplete Grading Instructions

An incomplete grade denotes an examination or required assignment which has been postponed for a serious reason after consultation with the instructor. Students who have not contacted the instructor regarding completion of course requirements are subject to a failing grade.

Students given approval to postpone course requirements must complete them on the date specified by the instructor. If the notation is still incomplete by the faculty grading deadline for the following semester (excluding intersession and summer), it is converted to a failing grade (F or U).

An incomplete grade is NOT to be assigned to students who never attended the course. Students who never attended the course are to be assigned a failing grade with the last attendance date as the first day of class.

Please follow the below instructions for entering incomplete grades.

  1. In the grade roster, enter the grade of I.
  2. You will be immediately be taken to the Incomplete Grades tab where you see:
    • Incomplete Final Grade: This is the grade to which the I grade will convert if not resolved by the Extension Date.
    • Extension Date: This is the deadline by which the I grade must be resolved to either a passing or failing grade. This date is set by the university. Do not change this date.
      Incomplete grades not resolved by their extension date will be converted to the Incomplete Final Grade (F or U).
  3. To acknowledge this information, click on the Roster tab to return to the grading roster.
  4. Enter the Last Attend Date.
  5. Continue entering grades.
  6. When finished, click the Save button at the bottom of the grade roster.
