Grades/GPA

The notation of I (Incomplete) may be recorded if a student, for reasons
beyond his or her control, is unable to complete the work of the course
AND if the instructor approves the reason before grades must be reported.
The I may be used only if the student's prior performance and class
attendance in the course have been satisfactory.
Failure to complete the work of a course that is not satisfactorily explained to the
instructor before the date when grades must be turned in will be graded F.
To Request an Incomplete, You Must
1. Complete a Request for Incomplete Grade form (available at the
EMSE department office)
2. Obtain the instructor’s approval
3. Return the form to your Advanced Degree Program Coordinator
Academic Policies: Incompletes

The I may remain on the record for a maximum of one year, but
the instructor should set a shorter period when the uncompleted
work must be made up.
An incomplete that is not removed within one calendar year or at
the time of graduation of the student (whichever occurs first) is
automatically changed to an IF.
The I cannot be removed by the student’s reregistering for the
course here or taking its equivalent elsewhere.
When the I is changed to a letter grade, the I followed by the letter
grade (e.g., IB) will appear on the student’s record.
EMSE students with 2 or more incompletes are not
allowed to enroll in future courses.
Academic Policies: Incompletes

Doctoral Students
You are not permitted to take more than 4 approved
independent studies as part of your curriculum
All Courses on Main Campus
