Students who complete all course requirements on schedule will automatically receive a grade report from the University, approximately three weeks after the final exam period.
Students who cannot complete coursework according to the University schedule should contact their faculty member right away. Depending upon circumstances, some faculty will grant an extension to complete course work. An extension pertains only to completing course requirements; it does not grant an extension to retain videotapes and CDs. The student's Grade Report will indicate an "I" (Incomplete) at this time. A grade of "I" must be removed not later than the end of the first two weeks of the major semester immediately following the course in question. Incomplete work for the fall semester and winter session must be completed within the first two weeks of the spring semester; incomplete work in the spring semester and summer session must be completed within the first two weeks of the following fall semester. Under extenuating circumstances, such as prolonged illness, the faculty member, with the additional approval of the dean, may approve extension of these limits. Once all coursework is complete, the faculty member will change the "I" (Incomplete) to a letter grade. At this time, a grade report is not automatically generated; students should call the registrar's office 302/831-1551 and request a Student Transcript, which will indicate the change of grade.
If, after the time limit stated above, the uncompleted work has not been made up, the grade will automatically be recorded as an "F" if the instructor has not designated otherwise by submitting the Incomplete Grade Explanation form. Control and approval of all incomplete grades, including those given for absence from the final examination, will rest with the dean of each college.
