Incomplete. At the discretion of the faculty member, a grade of "I" may be assigned to a student who has successfully completed [i.e., with at least a passing grade] a majority of the work of the class and who has an avoidable and compelling reason why the remainder of the work cannot be completed on schedule. Upon the completion of the work within the next regular semester at the time prescribed by the faculty member (no later than the end of the following regular semester), the faculty member will award the student a letter grade, including the possibility of an "F." An "I" grade that is not replaced by a letter grade or an "IE" grade will automatically become a grade of "F." |
