An incomplete grade (I) is a conditional grade only granted if all the following circumstances are met:
- Extenuating circumstances occurred (e.g., serious illness, pregnancy, personal injury, death in immediate family, etc.) that hindered class work and occurred after the tenth week of a semester or the fourth week of a block.
- The student must have a passing grade at the time of petitioning for the incomplete grade. It is not a substitute for a failing grade. Therefore, an incomplete grade cannot be granted if a student is failing a class and wants additional time to submit make-up work to improve a grade.
- The student must be able to complete the remaining work on an individual basis with the instructor. Re-enrollment or attendance in all or part of the same course during a subsequent semester cannot be required as part of the contract. The general length of time to fulfill the requirements of an incomplete contract is one additional semester.
- Instructor approval is mandatory. Incompletes are granted at the instructor’s discretion so long as the student meets the conditions listed in 1-3 above.
Instructors, please use an online form to request an incomplete contract. The form can be found at BYU-Idaho Support.
