An "Incomplete" (denoted on the transcript by the symbol I) may be reported only if the amount of unfinished work is small, the work is unfinished for reasons acceptable to the instructor, and the student's standing in the course is at least C-. The I grade is not included in the computation of the term or cumulative grade point averages during the period when a student has the privilege of making up the work. Incomplete grades may be made up while a student is not in residence even if a student has been suspended from the College for reasons of unsatisfactory academic performance. An incomplete grade must be made up by the fourth week of a student's next fall or winter term in residence or by an extended deadline approved by the Office of Academic Standards.

An instructor has ten days following the four-week deadline or ten days following an approved extended deadline in which to report a final grade. The final grade is posted on the transcript, and credits and honor points are posted accordingly. The I is not removed when the course is completed but remains on the transcript. An I grade not finished by the incomplete deadline or an approved extended deadline lapses to E. In such cases, no degree credit is earned and the course is then computed as an E in the term and cumulative grade point averages. Unfinished courses elected on a non-graded pattern ("Pass/Fail," "Credit/No Credit," etc. ) lapse to "Fail" or "No Credit" but do not affect the term or cumulative grade point averages.
