Incomplete grades (I) are given for work that is not completed during an academic term due to justifiable extenuating circumstances. To qualify for an "I" grade, you will need to sign an Incomplete Contract Agreement with the class instructor. Work must be completed by the date agreed upon and turned in to the instructor no later than mid-term of the following semester (not including summer sessions).

The above policy assumes no computer/connectivity issues.
