Faculty Digest

The grade of “I” or “Incomplete” is granted to students making sufficient academic progress in a course but experiencing extenuating circumstances that prevent them from completing 100 percent of their coursework by the course deadline. Sufficient academic progress is defined as having approximately 75 percent of the coursework completed prior to the end of the term. An incomplete " I " grade will be replaced by a letter grade when the outstanding coursework is submitted by the incomplete coursework deadline. The instructor must submit a grade change when the student has either completed the coursework or the deadline to submit incomplete course work was not met.

Review the Incomplete Grade Request Guide and the process diagram below.

On occasion, faculty may need to alter a grade after final grades have been submitted. Grade change requests are submitted to the Registrar’s Office if the deadline to submit final grades has passed via the Documents & Forms section on PG Campus.

Grade Change Reason Options:

• Grading Error

• Incomplete Grade Resolved - Work Completed

• Incomplete Grade Resolved - Work Not Completed

• Assignment Deadline Extension

• Other Adjustment

Students are expected and required to abide by the laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of Purdue Global, to conduct their academic and scholarly pursuits with the highest levels of ethical and honest behavior, to conduct themselves in accordance with accepted standards of social behavior, to respect the rights of others, and to refrain from any conduct that tends to obstruct the work of the University or to be injurious to the welfare of the University. 

Purdue Global students, faculty, and staff may already use AI tools such as Grammarly, Turnitin, and Photomath. However, with the introduction of ChatGPT, there is a new level in the potential of AI to impact academic work. Guidance in the development of skills that leverage the use of AI in the 21st-century career marketplace is needed. Therefore, Purdue Global acknowledges that ChatGPT, like other AI resources, can–when used appropriately–help users with analysis, generate new ideas, and practice critical thinking. Visit the Purdue Global AI Task Force site for more information.

General “AI & Writing Guidelines” for non-student stakeholders along with some additional resources may be found on the Purdue Global WAC Page under the "AI & Writing" section. 

A student-facing version of the AI and Writing Guidelines resource has been added to PG Campus, and several places, including the ASC landing page, the Writing Center landing page, and under "Writing Process and Using Sources" in our Writing Center resources.
