NDSCS permits the assignment of incomplete grades at the instructor’s discretion. Instructors issuing an incomplete grade for a student on the grade roster in Campus Connection must submit the Incomplete Grade Reporting Form by the grade posting deadline. The form is available within the faculty Campus Connection account under the NDSCS eForms tile.
Submission of the Incomplete Grade Reporting Form is not required for clinicals, practicums, internships, (SOE) experiences, co-ops, or on-the-job training (OJT).
The incomplete grade option is intended for students experiencing extenuating circumstances that prevent completion of course requirements by the end of the term. Examples may include serious illness or injury, the death of an immediate family member, or military-related obligations.
Failure to submit the required form by the deadline will result in the incomplete grade being automatically converted to an “F/U” grade.
Once a student has fulfilled the requirements established by the instructor and earned a final grade, the instructor must follow the institutional grade change process. If the grade change occurs within 90 days following the end of the previous semester, the instructor may update the grade directly through the grade roster in Campus Connection. After 90 days, a paper Grade Change Form, available through the Dean’s or Associate Dean’s Office, must be submitted.
Incomplete grades that have not been resolved by the midpoint of the following semester, excluding summer term, will be automatically converted to an “F/U” grade.
Each Division Dean/Associate Dean and the Office of the Registrar reserve the right to deny approval of an Incomplete Grade Reporting Form.
