Motion US04/05-1 – Incomplete Grade Completion Deadline for

      Undergraduate Students

 

 

Sponsored by:   Undergraduate Council

Action:                        Passed (voice vote) November 10, 2004 University Senate

 

 

The University Council proposes the following change in University policy governing the mark of Incomplete for undergraduates.

 

Moved that,

 

  1. Marks of “I” (Incomplete) awarded to undergraduate students Winter term 2005 and beyond must be removed within one calendar year of the end of the term in which the course was taken.  Failure to complete the course by the deadline will result in the mark of “I” automatically changing to a grade of “F” (Failure) or “N” (No Pass).

 

  1. Marks of “I” for undergraduate students who are graduating must be removed no later than 30 days after the degree is awarded.  Failure to complete the course by the 30-day deadline will result in the mark of “I” automatically changing to a grade of “F” or “N.”

 

  1. In cases where a student’s inability to complete the work by the deadline is due to extraordinary circumstances* the student may choose to:

 

·       Petition the Scholastic Review Committee to be allowed to withdraw from the class (change the ‘I’ or ‘F’ to a ‘W’ [Withdrew]).

 

·       Contact the Office of Academic Advising or the Office of the Registrar who will review extraordinary circumstances and take appropriate action as defined by the Academic Requirements Committee.

 

*examples:  catastrophic injury or illness or severe cognitive or psychological limitations preventing completion of work
