Incomplete Grades Information and Contract
For the full University Policy, see the Undergraduate Catalog.
“An incomplete grade may be assigned at the discretion of the instructor as an interim grade for a course in which the student has completed a major portion of the course with a passing grade, been unable to complete course requirements before the end of the term because of extenuating circumstances, and obtained agreement from the instructor and arranged for resolution of the incomplete grade. Instructors are not required to assign incomplete grades.”
CLAS Procedures
When students may ask an instructor to consider assigning an incomplete grade:
- All of the following must be true for the student to be eligible to receive a grade of Incomplete.
- The student is still enrolled in the class (has not dropped it).
- The student has completed a major portion of the course with a passing grade (“D-” or better).
- The student is unable to complete course requirements because of documented circumstances beyond their control.
- The student and instructor have discussed the situation prior to the final exam/final assignment due date (except under emergency conditions).
- The instructor will submit a final grade for the student after the date due whether or not all work is completed.
What to do if the instructor agrees to assign an incomplete grade:
- The student and instructor should meet and decide upon the assignments to be completed with a due date for each assignment, if feasible, and the date by which all work is to be completed.
- The instructor will inform the student of the final grade to be assigned if the work is not completed by the final due date.
- An Incomplete Grade Contract (PDF, 146 KB) or departmental agreement should be filled out, and a copy should be filed in the department office (useful if the instructor takes leave or leaves UF permanently).
- If make-up work requires classroom or laboratory attendance in a subsequent term, students must not register for the course again. Instead, they should audit the course and pay course fees.
- If work is to be evaluated by a different instructor, that instructor must agree and be a party to the Incomplete Grade Contract (or departmental agreement). The second instructor will communicate to the original instructor the student’s performance in the appropriate assignments, the original instructor then completes the change of grade form.
What to know if a student requests and receives an incomplete grade:
- I* grades recorded on the student record indicate the non-punitive initial-term receipt of an I. A grade of I* is not considered a failing grade for the term in which it is received, and it is not computed in the grade point average.
- I* grades are not assigned to graduating students; they receive a failing grade of I (which still may be completed and changed).
- If the I* grade has not been changed after 150 days, it will convert to a punitive I grade and be counted as a failing grade in computation of a student’s grade point average.
- These procedures cannot be used to repeat a course for a different grade.
- An incomplete grade should not be assigned to a student who never attended class; instead, instructors should assign a failing grade.
- The deadline for an incomplete grade arrangement may be extended beyond the final exam/final assignment, at the instructor’s discretion, only if there is a valid, documented reason why it was not possible for the student to meet the initial deadline. An incomplete contract/arrangement must still be completed as soon as possible after the deadline.
- Poor performance on the final exam is not a valid reason for an “I” arrangement.

Medical withdrawals include physical as well as psychological/emotional reasons, pertaining to the student or their immediate family, which includes mother, father, brother, sister. Immediate family may also include a spouse or child of the student.
