Work reported Incomplete in the Spring and Summer sessions must be completed by January 1st the next calendar year.

If the work reported as Incomplete is not made up by the deadline noted above, it is automatically entered as an F (Failure) on the student's record.

Any requests for an exception to the above guidelines for graduate students must be submitted in writing to the Graduate College. Only under the most unusual circumstances would requests for additional time be approved.

Some courses continue beyond the normal ending date of the semester or session. In such cases the initial grade reported will be a RC which means Research or Course Continued. Once the extended instructional period is finished the RC grade will be replaced with the appropriate grade (A-F) assigned by the instructor.
