Graduate Handbook

Graduate Admissions

Incompletes and NR's (No Grade Reported)

A student receiving an Incomplete (I) must have completed at least 75% of the assigned or required work and must sign a departmental "Incomplete Contract" with the course instructor. These forms may be obtained from the Departmental Secretary. If the student fails to complete the work by the time specified on the contract, the instructor has the right to assign the student a grade of "F" for the course. No graduate student may register for courses with two (2) or more "I's" on her or his transcript. Note that University policy states "having two or more Incompletes that are more than two years old is presumptive evidence of failure to maintain reasonable academic progress and, therefore, grounds for dismissal."

It is the student's responsibility to assure that he or she is officially registered for all classes. If the student fails to register for the class, university policy requires that the student not expect to receive a grade. A student may not graduate from the university with an "NR" on his/her record.
