REVISING “INCOMPLETE GRADES” TO ESTABLISH A POLICY SECTION  

BE IT RESOLVED THAT:  subject to the passage and approval of both this bill and its companion bill establishing a corresponding “procedures” section, Chapter 3, Section C7 of the Faculty Handbook be amended by replacing the existing content with the following “policy” section (with the companion “procedures” to follow it in the Handbook):  

Incomplete Grades Policy  

An incomplete ("I") may be given when the undergraduate student is doing passing work but is unable to complete all requirements because of unusual or unique circumstances acceptable to the instructor. In no case may an "I" be agreed to by an instructor prior to the drop date. An "I" may not be used to permit a student to repeat a course or to improve a grade.
