An Incomplete grade may be assigned by an instructor when a student's work is of passing quality but incomplete, or if a student qualifies for re-examination.  It is the responsibility of the student to request an extension from the course instructor.  By assigning an "I" grade, it is implied that an instructor agrees that the student has a valid reason and should be given additional time to complete required coursework.  All incomplete grades will be resolved within 10 calendar days from the end of the final examinations for the quarter or they will automatically be converted to a grade of "F".  In the case of courses ending prior to final exam week, it is the obligation of the course director to monitor the use and resolution of the incomplete grade with a notice to the Registrar.
