An grade of Incomplete is designated as "I". It means the student has not completed all requirements for a particular course. A grade of "I" is never assigned automatically by an instructor, but will be given only after the student has requested same from the instructor and has satisfactorily explained why the "I" grade is necessary. It is at the instructor's discretion as to award an "I" or another grade. An "I" grade must be removed within one calendar year or it automatically changes to a grade of "F". For active-duty military on Tuition Assistance (TA), the "I" grade must be removed within 120 days or the soldier will be required to repay the TA through payroll deductions.

Course work which is passing quality, but because of extenuating circumstances beyond the control of the student is not complete, may be graded "I." Students must initiate an "incomplete" grade request by securing appropriate approval of excuses by the instructor, department head, and academic dean. This request enables the student to finish the requirements of the course after the semester is over. Failure to follow the recommended procedure will result in an automatic "F."
The grade of "INC" (incomplete) is used when the instructor is not prepared to give a final mark for the semester, either because of the student's illness or due to some other justifiable delay in the completion of the course requirements. The "INC" grade becomes an "F" if the work is not completed before the end of the twelfth week of the following semester in attendance.
An incomplete ("I") grade may be given to a student who because of illness or other unique circumstances has not been able to complete a course in a prescribed amount of time. For purposes of computing the grade point average the ("I") will be computed as an ( "F"). An ("F") grade means the student has failed the course and receives no credit or quality points for that course.
