When students have not completed all of their work by the end of the quarter, they may request an incomplete from their instructors. By requesting an incomplete, the student is indicating that they plan to complete the course requirements or content on a modified timeline. Faculty and students should develop an agreement which outlines the requirements and deadlines for completing the work.
No instructor is required to issue an incomplete grade, however, they may do so if the student has been active in the course, they are able to complete the remaining requirements without attending additional classes, and there were unexpected issues that occurred after the last day to drop a class.
To request an incomplete from a professor, the student must contact the instructor before 5 p.m. on the last day of finals week.
