Temporary grade of incomplete
In the event that a student suffers from serious personal illness or other emergency circumstances and is unable to complete all assignments by the end of the quarter, the student may request a grade of incomplete by completing the temporary grade of incomplete form available in MySCAD through the registrar's office before the end of the quarter. The student should explain the reason and include documentation of the illness or emergency circumstance. The registrar's decision is final.
To be eligible for an incomplete, the student must have completed at least 50 percent of the grading opportunities, as outlined on the syllabus, be able to pass the course upon completion of the remaining work, and be able to complete the remaining work independently (apart from the administration of any missed quizzes or exams). A student must attend 80% or more of the class sessions to be eligible for a temporary grade of incomplete. A student who has missed or will miss more than 20% of a course (e.g., five absences for a 10-week course that meets twice per week) is not eligible for a temporary grade of incomplete.
A student who is assigned a temporary grade of incomplete is required to complete the remainder of the unfinished work in a satisfactory manner by midterm of the following quarter. A temporary grade of incomplete automatically changes to an F if the required work is not completed satisfactorily by midterm of the following quarter. A student may not withdraw from a course after receiving a grade of incomplete.
