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

The Student Code of Conduct is designed to provide a supportive framework for a positive, ethical, and inclusive learning environment that fosters personal growth, understanding, and accountability. We believe that every student is capable of learning from their experiences and evolving as responsible members of our academic community. When appropriate, minor or unintentional breaches of the Student Code of Conduct will be addressed as opportunities for learning and improvement. Students' commitment to follow this code will preserve the spirit of academic inquiry and discovery for everyone at Purdue Global.    

With the rapid expansion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, instructors and students need to clearly understand the acceptable use of AI within individual Purdue Global (PG) courses. 

Developing strong competencies in a field of study and ethically using AI tools will prepare students for a competitive workplace. At PG, all courses permit the use of AI tools to assist with basic proofreading (spelling/grammar checks) and pre-writing strategies/brainstorming. Examples of these types of tools include Google Gemini, Grammarly (for proofreading), NotebookLM, and other approved AI tools presented by PG in a specific course to augment the classroom. Review the PG AI Policy 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 is available on 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.
