If a course has a major assignment which has not been completed by the end of the course, a student may fill out a petition for incomplete form and ask the instructor for an incomplete grade. This request must be made by the last day of scheduled classes for the term. The student is charged a $50 fee if approved for an incomplete. A grade of “I” is entered when grades are submitted and counts as a zero towards the student’s semester GPA. Approved petitions allow work to be submitted within four weeks after the final exams. After that, all incomplete work receives a grade of zero and the final grade is calculated and included in the student’s academic record.
