Q: How do I officially declare my major or change my major?

Q: How can I request an incomplete in a course that I am unable to finish on time?

A: You should ask your instructor if she or he is willing to assign an incomplete for the course. This decision is up to the instructor. Before assigning any incomplete grade, the instructor will ask you to co-sign a form specifying what needs to be completed. The maximum time for finishing incomplete course work is ONE YEAR from the end of the term in which the course was taken. Instructors may specify a shorter time and then submit a change of grade card after that date has passed. After one year, the incomplete grade will automatically be changed to the specified default grade.
