Incompletes are discouraged. They will be given only when extraordinary events intervene so as to make completion of the course impossible. If you want an incomplete, these events must be documented. To receive an incomplete you must have completed two exams with a grade of C or better. If the form is not filled out, an incomplete grade will not be given.
Incompletes will not be given if you are behind schedule near the end of the semester. Nor will incompletes be given if you need just a few more points to make the next higher letter grade. Plenty of opportunities exist during the semester to accomplish your goals.
If you find yourself way behind or many points short toward the end of the semester, you may withdraw without a grade penalty up to three weeks before the end of the semester. Please read the following note about withdrawals.
