Introduction
Before you assign a student an incomplete grade:
- Be aware of the College Policy for Incomplete Grades
- Have documented communication between yourself and the student before providing an incomplete grade.
Davidson-Davie's Incomplete Grade Policy
The College definition and policy for an Incomplete Grade includes:
The student has completed the major portion of the course and due to extenuating circumstances, has not been able to complete all the requirements. Students should be able to complete the course with minimal assistance from the instructor. No quality points awarded. The student is responsible for contacting the instructor to make arrangements for completing the requirements for removing the "I" grade. If the student is unable to reach the instructor, the student should contact the instructor's immediate supervisor, as indicated in the course syllabus. If the "I" grade is not removed by the end of the 12th week following the semester in which it was given, the grade will automatically be converted to a grade of "F," unless an exception is approved dur to extenuating circumstances. Creating the Incomplete Request
- Enter final grade as an "I" for Incomplete.
- Fill out the Incomplete form request (opens in a new tab).
- Once the Incomplete date has passed, or expired, follow the steps for a Grade Change Request.
Additional Notes for Incomplete Grades
When we get a submission to the form, we assign the student to a new section within your Canvas course called "Incomplete". This new section allows the student to access the course based on the dates you submit. We will need:
- the full student name
- the full course section name
- access until date, how long they will need access
Quick Tips
- Keep in mind, within your course, activity and resource due dates, extensions, or availability may need to be managed/modified. The student can see the course, but cannot see hidden or closed items.
- If your student does not see the course on their Dashboard page, ask them to click Courses in the Canvas menu and then All Courses.
