Incomplete Grades
Effective Fall Semester 2003 and later, whenever a student cannot be assigned a grade at the end of a course in which he/she has been enrolled because his/her work is for good reason incomplete, the instructor will postpone the grade of the student, reporting to the Registrar the fact that such student's grade is Incomplete (I).
An "I" grade may be assigned only when:
- The completed portion of the student's work in the course is of passing quality.
- There is such evidence of hardship as to make it unjust to hold the student to the time limits previously fixed for the completion of his/her work.
The time allowed for the removal of an "I" grade is one calendar year from the date of its recording. When the incomplete work is finished, the instructor, with the approval of his/her department chair, will notify the University Registrar of what the new grade should be. The University Registrar will make the change, notify the student, and modify term and cumulative GPA's accordingly.
If the incomplete work is not completed within one calendar year, a grade of "F" will automatically replace the grade of "I" in all undergraduate courses. This automatic change only applies to Incomplete grades assigned prior to the fall 2003 semester.
Grade Discrepancies
If a grade is reported in error, the instructor, with the approval of his/her department chair, is responsible for making the change. If a student
believes a grade to be reported incorrectly, he/she should contact the instructor and ask for a review of the grade assigned. Note: the change of an erroneous grade must be made within one semester after it is first assigned.
If a student believes that the grade assigned was unfairly the student should discuss the grade, as well as the performance standards expected
by the instructor, with the instructor prior to the end of the semester following the one in which the grade was assigned. If there is not a successful resolution of the student's appeal, the student may file a written petition with the department chair (or with the Dean of the college or division if the instructor whose grade is being appealed is the department chair).
