Course Incomplete Request Form

Students experiencing significant hardship within the course of a semester may request an incomplete grade from the faculty of record for their course.  The Course Incomplete Request Form is a contract between the student, instructor, and department that outlines the work left to be completed in the course and the deadlines for submission. Once your faculty member agrees that the student may request an "Incomplete" grade, the student and faculty member should agree on the following requirements:

• What assignments/projects/exams are left to complete?

• What is your agreed deadline with the instructor for completion? 

Once gathered, the student should complete the Course Incomplete Request form. The request will be reviewed by the faculty member and department chair for approval. Students will be notified via email of the outcome of the request.
