Faculty-Student Agreement
for the Grade of Incomplete
THIS FORM IS FOR INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT RECORDS. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT
INSTRUCTORS COMPLETE THIS CONTRACT AND FILE IN THE DEPARTMENT.
STUDENT: DO NOT RE-REGISTER FOR A COURSE WHEN AN “I” GRADE HAS BEEN ISSUED
An Incomplete (I) grade is a temporary grade given only when part of the required work is missing and arrangements
have been made with the instructor to complete the work. Failure of a student to appear for a final examination without
an explanation is, for example, insufficient grounds for assigning an incomplete. In such cases, an 'X' grade would be
appropriate. In general, the grade of 'I' should be avoided except where it is clearly justified.
When a student and instructor agree on a grade of Incomplete, the instructor is encouraged to file an incomplete
contract with their department. The purpose of the contract is to clearly define and document the specific requirements
that are needed to complete the course and the deadline for completion agreed to by the student and the instructor. If
a student is unable to sign the incomplete contract, the instructor is encouraged to attach documentation of the
conversation or electronic communication with the student specifying the date the agreement for a grade of Incomplete
was made and the specific requirements and deadline needed to complete the course. If the student does not complete
the specified requirements by the required deadline or the instructor does not submit a grade change by the deadlines
listed below, the ‘I’ grade will be converted to an ‘F’.
