Grades of I (Incomplete) are given at the discretion of the course instructor, but normally are granted only if students have already met the minimum criteria for active weekly participation in a course (including weekly postings in online courses) and have acceptably completed approximately 80 percent of the rest of the coursework, including discussions and assignments, prior to the last day of classes. Students must request a grade of Incomplete prior to the last day of classes. Such a request should include a list of missing assignments and an intended submission date for those missing assignments, no later than 60 days from the last day of classes. Discussion assignments may not be made up after the last day of classes. Coursework submitted within the allowed time period, not to exceed 60 days from the last day of classes, will be graded and included in computation of an overall course grade which will replace the I grade. Failure to complete the specified coursework within the allowed time will cause the grade of I to default to an F (Fail) or U (Unsatisfactory), depending on the course grading scheme.
