The designation IN (incomplete) may be used in special circumstances. An incomplete grade (IN) may be given only at the end of a term to student whose work is passing, but who has left unfinished a small amount of work, for example, a final examination, a paper or a term project which may be completed without further class attendance. The student must act to remove the IN grade within one calendar year. If action is not taken, the IN grade will revert to an "F." In the event the instructor from whom a student receives an incomplete is not available, the disposition of a case involving an incomplete grade resides with the appropriate dean.
