Incomplete Grades
A student who receives a grade of "I" in a course and who successfully completes his/her work in the time interval specified by the instructor but no later than the 12th week of the second subsequent semester of enrollment will receive from the instructor whatever permanent grade his/her work would have deserved if it had been completed on time. The value of the final grade resulting from the late completion of the course requirements shall be incorporated in future graduation indexes. If the student fails to achieve, within the specified time, a permanent grade to replace the incomplete grade he/she received, then the value of an "IF" (Incomplete Failing) grade shall be incorporated in future graduation indexes. If the student repeats the course within two subsequent semesters of enrollment, the original grade of Incomplete shall not revert to a failing grade. The value of a completion grade or an "IF" grade shall not be included in Graduate School index computation if the original grade of Incomplete was received while the student was enrolled as an undergraduate.

Grade Appeals

A student who feels that she/he has received an inappropriate grade in a course may appeal the grade to the instructor, department head, or the Grade Appeals Committee of the college/school in which the contested grade was awarded.  For detailed information about appealing a grade, consult "A Student's Guide to the Grade Appeal Process" (PDF).

Grade Corrections
An instructor who discovers that an erroneous grade was reported for a student shall immediately submit to the Registrar a statement, countersigned by the department head, of what retroactive correction is to be made. A correction of grade should be reported to the Registrar within 30 days after the start of the regular semester following the session in which the erroneous grade was reported. Any correction reported after this time must be accompanied by the instructor’s explanation for the delay in reporting in addition to the approval of the department head unless the grade change is the result of a grade appeal. When a grade correction is recorded the appropriate semester and graduation indexes will be corrected.
