Procedural Update to the Grades and Grading System Policy

In the spring of 2024, the process of assigning an Incomplete grade was streamlined to be self-contained within the UAccess Instructor Center. Previously as part of the implementation of the Amendments to the Grades and Grading System Policy update, a separate Report of Incomplete Grade document was to be completed by the instructor and signed by the student. System improvements now allow the documentation of the coursework required to resolve the Incomplete grade to be entered by the instructor as part of assigning an I-grade. The student then gets an email notification outlining the remaining coursework required to receive a grade.

Previous policy language

Instructors must use the Report of Incomplete Grade form as a contract with the student as to what course work must be completed by the student for the I grade to be removed and replaced with a grade. Both the instructor and student sign this agreement and both should retain copies.

The policy has been updated to reflect this new process 

Instructors must use the Report of Incomplete Grade process as a contract with the student, documenting the course work that must be completed by the student for the I grade to be removed and replaced with a grade. 

The procedural update is effective immediately and the policy can be read in full online.
