�Ǹ�Թ�

Beginning this fall semester, updated procedures for assigning and resolving��Incomplete (I) grades will take effect. These changes, made in consultation with the �Ǹ�Թ� Faculty Assembly, are intended to improve consistency and the student experience, clarify existing policy, and align with the campus Grade Replacement Policy.

Key reminders

• Incomplete grade requests must be initiated by the student and are appropriate only when circumstances beyond the student's control prevent completion of course requirements.
• A substantial portion of the coursework must be completed by the student to be eligible for an Incomplete grade.
• An��Incomplete Grade Agreement must be completed to document remaining work and deadlines for completion (may also use a college/school Incomplete form).
• If requirements are not completed within one year of the end of the semester in which the Incomplete was assigned, the grade converts to an F.
• Incomplete grades are not eligible for grade replacement until they have been resolved.

What's changing for fall 2026 and later

• “Substantial portion” is clarified as the student having at least two-thirds of coursework completed (with a passing grade) to be considered for an Incomplete grade.
• Reenrollment is not a means to resolve an Incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding coursework and receive a final grade from the instructor within the prescribed resolution period.��I grades are no longer made permanent if a student chooses to reenroll.
• The notation "Originally graded as Incomplete" will no longer appear on official transcripts.

These changes apply only to Incomplete grades assigned in��fall 2026 and later. Incompletes assigned before fall 2026 will continue to follow previous procedures.
