What is an Incomplete (I) Grade?

An Incomplete (“I”) is a temporary grade that indicates unfinished coursework and allows students time to complete remaining requirements without penalty.  An “I” is given only during the last one-fourth of a term/semester and only if a student (1) is passing the course and (2) has a justifiable and documented reason, beyond the control of the student (such as serious illness or military service), for not completing the work on schedule. The student must arrange with the instructor to finish the course at a later date by completing specific requirements. Grades of "I" will default to "F" after one year unless the instructor has designated a different automatic grade or lapse deadline on their grade roster.

How to Remove an Incomplete (I) Grade

A student may remove a grade of “I” within one year by completing the remaining work as agreed upon with the instructor. After completion of the stipulated work, the instructor of record will submit the final grade on a using the UNT Grade Change Form. When processing the grade change, the student’s grade point average is adjusted accordingly. If a student does not complete the stipulated work within the time specified, the grade will change to “F” unless the instructor has designated a different automatic grade. The GPA is adjusted accordingly, and the student will be subject to academic penalty should any exist.
