Instructors may assign a grade of an “I” (Incomplete) for a course. This is only an option under extreme circumstances in which a student has completed most course requirements and is passing. Examples of when this may happen include, but are not limited to, as a result of an accident, illness, military duty, or other circumstance beyond the student's control. 

An instructor who is considering requesting an Incomplete grade for a student should first consult with their supervisor and/or academic dean. After the consultation, a Faculty/Student Incomplete Grade Agreement form must be completed and submitted via Workflow in myLSSC with ample time given for approval by the supervisor and academic dean, as applicable, and processing by the Registrar's Office prior to the semester’s grade submission deadline. A copy of the completed form should be retained by all parties.

The faculty member should complete a "Change of Grade" form by the end of the semester following the assignment of an Incomplete grade (Summer is considered one semester) to award a final grade in the course. Otherwise, the Incomplete grade will be converted by the Registrar's Office to a grade of F in the course after the end of the semester in which the I grade was assigned.
