"Incomplete ("I") indicates unfinished work at the end of a course due to extenuating circumstances. A student must request the "I" from the professor, justifying the reason for the request. When granted, an "I" grade must be removed during the following quarter or the grade automatically becomes an "F". Thus, an Incomplete grade incurred during the spring quarter must be removed by the beginning of the fall quarter."
An incomplete may only be given if the professor believes the missing work does not require the interaction of other students.
After a final grade has been submitted or an Incomplete ("I") has been automatically changed to an "F", a grade change may be made only if a computational or recording error is discovered.

Afterword: How Useful are Grades?
Grades are one tool for evaluating student performance and providing feedback to people on on their academic progress. By assigning grades to student work, instructors can communicate the level of mastery students have achieved in a particular subject or skill. Grades can motivate students to strive for improvement and excellence. They can help students understand their strengths and weaknesses. Grades provide a standardized measure for evaluating how well a particular course or group of courses is achieving its goals. Grades can assist teachers in identifying content areas that need additional support or instruction. Grades can also signal where personalized learning experiences are needed.
What good are grades? Well, they can:
- Foster motivation in both students and instructors
- Hold people accountable
- Encourage ongoing improvement within an educational system.
