What is TROY's Incomplete Grade Policy?

Missing any part of the Course Schedule may prevent completion of the course. If circumstances will prevent the student from completing the course by the end of the term, the student should complete a Request For An Incomplete Grade Form.

Note: A grade of incomplete or "INC" is not automatically assigned to students, but rather must be requested by the student by submitting a Petition for and Work to Remove an Incomplete Grade Form (Link to forms). Requests for an incomplete grade must be made on or before the date of the final assignment or test of the term. A grade of "INC" does not replace an "F" and will not be awarded for excessive absences. An "INC" will only be awarded to student presenting a valid case for the inability to complete coursework by the conclusion of the term. It is ultimately the instructor’s decision to grant or deny a request for an incomplete grade, subject to the policy rules below.

What is the policy/rule for granting an Incomplete (INC)?

An incomplete cannot be issued without a request from the student.

To qualify for an incomplete, the student must:

	Have completed over 50% of the course material and have a documented reason for requesting the incomplete. (50% means all assignments/exams up to and including the mid-term point, test, and/or assignments.)
	Be passing the course at the time of their request.

If both of the above criteria are not met an incomplete, an "INC" cannot be granted.

An INC is not a substitute for an F. If a student has earned an "F" by not submitting all the work or by receiving an overall F average, then the F stands.
