LS Completion of INC Grades issued in the Second Semester SY 2021-2022

This is to remind everyone of the policy covering INC (Incomplete) grades for graduate level courses issued in the Second Semester SY 2021-2022.  (Graduate Student Handbook 2019 Edition, pp 39-41).

8. Grading System:

INC - Incomplete grade given at the discretion of the instructor owing to failure to submit course requirements.

8.b. Completion of an Incomplete Mark

Definition - A process undertaken by a student who has been given a temporary grade of INC, in extraordinary circumstances when some requirements of a course (except the final examination) have not been met.

Policy

1.   Students who receive a grade of “INC” are required to complete the requirements within the deadline set by the instructor or at least one month before the end of the one-year grace period if the instructor sets no deadline. Students who fail to do so within the specified time limit will automatically be given a grade of “F”.

2.   Students with an “INC” in a course that is a prerequisite to a succeeding course will not be allowed to register in the succeeding course.

3.   If the requirement is not completed at least one month before the end of the one-year grace period or by the deadline set by the instructor, the grade will be automatically changed to F (Failed).

Procedure

1.   The student completes the course requirements within the deadline.

2.   The instructor accomplishes the student’s grade in a Completion Form in AISIS for approval of the Department Chair/Program Director and Registrar.

Any actions or approvals by teachers that are contrary to these regulations shall be treated by the Loyola Schools as null and void. Submission of requirements after the INC grade has automatically converted to F will not change the F, even if the teacher accepted the late submission.
