Submitting a request for an incomplete allows you to extend the deadline for coursework due to unforeseen circumstances, such as illness or personal emergencies. To request an incomplete, you need to discuss your situation with the course instructor and complete a Request for Incomplete form.
If the instructor agrees,you will have one full term to complete the missing work*. It’s important to follow up on the agreed-upon deadlines, as failing to complete the work by the new date could result in a failing grade. Be sure to keep a record of all communications and agreements regarding your incomplete status.
*Note: Students requesting an incomplete in the Spring term have until the end of Fall term to complete the work.
