Incomplete Grades

When an incomplete grade is issued for a student, a form/contract must be completed between the faculty and student.  Incomplete grades should only be used for students that have extenuating circumstances such as documented medical concerns or emergency circumstances beyond a student’s control. Incomplete grades are not appropriate for students who get behind in a class or are absent.

 The Incomplete Contract Agreement Form can be found on Google Drive | NICC Shared Files | Teaching and Learning | Forms | Incomplete Contract Agreement.  After obtaining the student’s signature, the instructor should make a copy for themselves, give a copy to the student, and submit the original to the Registrar’s Office.  Students have until the date designated on the contract or no later than midterm of the following semester to complete the course requirements.

 When a student completes the requirements specified on the Incomplete Contract Agreement, the instructor submits the appropriate grade on a Grade Change Form to the Registrar’s Office.  The Grade Change Form can be found on Google Drive | NICC Shared Files | Teaching and Learning | Forms | Grade Change.
