An “I’’ (incomplete) grade is assigned in instances in which a student is likely to pass the course upon completion of requirements to change the “I” grade. To yield credit for a course for which a grade of “I” has been assigned, course requirements must be completed by the end of the next semester of enrollment, not to exceed two calendar years. The student will have two calendar years to complete an "I" grade. After two calendar years the "I" grade will default to an "F" grade.
