Incomplete Grades
Overview
Drexel University students are expected to complete a course during the academic term in which the course was taken. However, a student, for reasons beyond their control, may be unable to complete the coursework and thus, may have the opportunity to obtain a temporary Incomplete or "INC" for the course under specific conditions and guidelines.
Conditions
The assignment of the temporary grade of Incomplete or "INC" is a limited privilege. The decision to honor a student request for an INC grade is at the discretion of the course instructor at the time the INC is requested. The student and the instructor must enter into a contract that delineates the requirements for the student to make up the outstanding course material.
Incomplete grades may not exceed two subsequent terms; extensions may be granted by the instructor with approval by the Office of Graduate Studies. If a final grade is not submitted by the date established with the course instructor in the Incomplete Grade Contract, the INC grade will become a failing grade or "I/F" on the student's academic record on the last day of classes within the deadline quarter of the designated two subsequent quarter sequence; this grade will be reflected in the student's GPA and will be considered as the final grade.
