PROCEDURE FOR ASSIGNING AN “I” USING A CONTRACT
BETWEEN THE INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT
1. Both instructor and student will complete the “I” contract. If the student is not available to sign the
contract, the contract can be submitted without the student’s signature. Instructor needs to note
(where the student signs) why the student cannot sign.
2. The contract will be submitted to the following for approval in the order listed:
a. Chair of the Department
b. Dean of the College (who oversees the department of the course)
c. Dean of Graduate Studies (Graduate Student Only) (Informational purposes only)
3. The instructor will leave the grade blank on the class roll when submitting grades. Beginning 2013 Fall
semester, the “I” will not be an option for the instructor to assign.
4. After the contract has been approved by all parties, the contract will be submitted to the Office of the
Registrar for processing. The contract will be reviewed for completeness and an “I” will be entered on
the class roster by the Office of the Registrar.
5. All “I” contracts should be submitted no later than when all grades are due for that semester.
6. If the Office of the Registrar enters an “X” (for a missing grade) on the class roster before receiving the
“I” contract, the “I” contract will be used as a change of grade to enter the “I”.
7. If the “I” contract is for a time period less than a year and the student does not fulfill the contract, the
instructor must notify the Office of the Registrar to change the “I” to an “F” using a Change of Grade
Form.
8. If the student does fulfill the contract, the instructor must change the “I” to the appropriate grade
using a Change of Grade Form.
9. If the “I” has not been changed to another grade by the end of one year, the “I” will automatically be
changed to an “F” unless an extension has been approved.
