Incomplete Grades

The symbol “I” (Incomplete Authorized) indicates that a portion of required coursework has not been completed and evaluated during the course due to unforeseen but fully justified reasons and that there is still a possibility of earning credit.* It is the responsibility of the student to bring pertinent information to the attention of the instructor and to determine from the instructor the remaining course requirements that must be satisfied to remove the Incomplete. Agreement as to tThe conditions for removal of the Incomplete grade must be specified at the time the “I” grade is assigned. These conditions must be communicated to the student and saved in an accessible format.will be in writing, signed by the instructor, student, and the department chair (or designee) and placed on file with the appropriate academic department until the Incomplete is removed or the time limit passed. A final grade is assigned when the work agreed upon has been completed and evaluated. An “I” (Incomplete Authorized) should not be assigned when it is necessary for the student to attend additional class meetings to complete the course requirements. An Incomplete must be made up within the time limit specified by the instructor when the incomplete “I” grade is assigned. within 12 months of the end of the term in which it was assigned. The time limit may not extend beyond 12 months.  If the instructor does not specify a time limit, then the student must complete the incomplete grade withmeet the conditions specified by the instructor within 12 months of from the day grades are due on the Academic Calendar (the last day of the term) the end of the term in which the same term in which the “I” grade was assigned. This limitation prevails whether or not the student maintains continuous enrollment.

Failure to complete the assigned work will result in an Incomplete being converted to an “F” or “NC” on the academic transcript.

If a graduating senior has an incomplete “I” grade in a course in which (1) the student has not completed the course requirements, and (2) the time limit has not yet expired on the student’s graduation date, then the “I” grade remains on the official transcript as “I/Not Completed.” At the time of degree evaluation, the degree will not be awarded if a student has any outstanding “I” grades which, if calculated as “F”, would cause the student’s grade point average to fall below the minimum level for graduation in any grade point requirement (Sacramento State, overall, major, minor, or General Education). Incomplete grades are not considered for deletion by the Academic Standards Committee.
