Removing Incomplete “I” Grades
1. When grades are reported, it is the responsibility of the instructor to
inform the appropriate department chairperson in writing of the
reasons for an “I” grade and the conditions that must be met to
remove it.
2. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor or
department chair regarding work to be completed for the removal of
the “I” grade.
3. When removing an “I” grade during the next consecutive semester,
a student should continue working under the instructor’s direction
and should not re-register for the course.
4. If a student has not removed the “I” grade by the end of the next
consecutive semester, it may be necessary to re-register and re-take
the course.”I” grades not removed during the allowed time may
remain on the student’s record.”I” grades have the same effect as
“F” grades.
5. When a student performs the work that allows the removal of the
grade of “I,” it will be deleted from the transcript, and the new
grade will be entered.
6. If a student receives an “I” and the instructor is not at the institution
the next consecutive semester, the student should meet the
requirements of the course under the supervision of the department
chairperson.
7. A grade of “I” may be replaced by a grade of “F” if a student, in
attempting to remove an “I,” completes the work required but
averages an “F” in the course.
